Since last week Thursday evening, we are seeing the issue that kmail no longer automatically refreshes the IMAP accounts. At the given intervals nothing seems to happen, except for the INBOX. After some checking only the INBOX for the IMAP accounts is being checked, but not the folders. This is particular noticeable for GMail when the filtering is done on the GMail server and not locally. Clicking on "Check email" works as expected and all folders are being refreshed. Also opening a folder within kmail works and the content is refreshed with the server itself. So it seems really to be the automatic check that only functions for the INBOX, but not the other defined IMAP folders. We tried to disect by reverting certain commits in kdepimlibs and kdepim-runtime (commits done since Thursday morning), but we couldn't restore the proper function. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set an automatic refresh for an IMAP Akonadi resource 2. Wait until the refresh time has finishes 3. Actual Results: Folders are not refreshed, only new emails in the INBOX are being received Expected Results: All folders are refreshed in the same manor as the Manual Mail Check Running latest git master for Akonadi, kdepimlibs, kdepim-runtime and kdepim
I think this has been fixed in akonadi 68480a5d0b2e53ad24bc. Please reopen if this is still not working.

This is still valid in 4.13 final. Even in the INBOX, new mails which are read in another device are not marked as read in kmail until the folder is refreshed
@Antonio Rojas, Are you sure that you are talking about the same issue here ? The initial issue is that even after 1 hour the mail folders are not automatically refreshed. Only email in the inbox is being retrieved. What you indicate seems to be something logical. How would Kmail now if an email is read on another device until the folders are refreshed. Question is if this refresh is automatically happening (e.g. according to the time indicated) or that even after 10 hours no refresh too place. The issue indicated by me was resolved during the Beta's of KDE 4.13 and I can confirm that it works.
@Raymond That's the whole point of IDLE, the mail client is always instantly kept in sync with the server. It worked as expected in 4.12. Don't know if this is the same as your issue, but since my bug was marked as a duplicate of this one I'm commenting here.
What you indicate is definitely different than my issue. But I never saw that all folders were kept in sync instantly. But maybe this is dependent on the email provider. What I see and what I also saw in 4.12 is that kmail retrieves changes on the indicated interval.

IDLE is only used on the INBOX, and the interval is used for all folders. The interval is working AFAIK, and IDLE is supposed to pick up flag changes and new mail for INBOX only.
