Version: 4.8 (using Devel) OS: Linux When I try to open INBOX on an IMAP account KMail hangs. Strace shows that it always hangs in a futex call. I think it is caused by a race condition because when I run KMail in strace, I'm unable to reproduce the issue (it's obviously running slower). It only happens when I run KMail on it's own, strace -p `pidof kmail` of the frozen KMail then shows $ strace -p `pidof kmail` Process 5672 attached - interrupt to quit futex(0x7f546fcac8a0, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 2, NULL It happens only with INBOX, other folders can be opened and I can switch between emails. It freezes sometimes when I switch between emails to quickly (but only sometimes, does not seem to be regular). Let me know if you need any more information. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1) run KMail with IMAP account 2) open INBOX 3) KMail freezes 4) strace -p `pidof kmail` will show it hangs in futex() Actual Results: KMail freezes Expected Results: KMail should not freeze :)
This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
