After upgrade to 4.8.2 kmail / Akonadi shows strange behaviour When trying to send emails, the message composer window stays open, gets grayed out, but the mail is not being sent anymore. Using smtp without password in a local network. It did work before (up to 4.8.1) and also continues to work when using claws. What can it be?
how to reproduce: open kontact write a mail and send it - it's sent write a second mail - voila - it's not sent - composer window stays open. when closing the composer window akonadi/kmail is dysfunct, also unable to show messages from the imap account
confirmed on Kubuntu 12.04 with kde 4.8.3. Sometimes restarting akonadi helps, sometimes not. Saving the email as draft in local folders works, "send later" as well. Opening akonadiconsole and clicking on the resources results in long update times and sometimes a "cannot fetch data from backend" error.
This bug has only been reported for versions older than KDEPIM 4.14 (at most akonadi-1.3). Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a recent version of akonadi (part of KDE Applications 15.08 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.
