Kmail imap retrieval hangs when downloading mail and will continue to hang at "Aborting..." indefinitely. Only the one IMAP resource is stuck and cannot be reset or stopped but makes mail retrieval of that resource impossible until Akonadi is forced to reset. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download mail 2. Download of mail is not complete but no progress is being made 3. Select "Cancel" to abort the process 4. Process does not abort. Resource is unusable until Akonadi reset Actual Results: When Akonadi is reset, the resource will be available again but the consequences of that is generally having to remove and re install calendar resources in order for them to be seen or used again. Expected Results: Retrieved mail without error.
I found that for me restarting kmail is enough to get the check going again. I might have to be persistant about it though (make sure kmail isn't running in the background). If all else fails "akonadictl restart" works. None of this is acceptable though.
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.
