Description Anders Lund 2019-02-02 10:29:00 UTC 
Very often, sometimes many times a day, kmail appears to stop working. It does not fetch new mail, mail can not be sent, and/or mail can not be displayed. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use KMail for a while. suspend the system a few times.
2. At some point, get suspcious because you do not get mail
3. Get annoyed, because suddenly kmail will not display any mail, instead the infamous BSOD appears whenever a mail header is clicked. If a header is doubleclidked, a infinite "fetching message ..." progress dialog is spawned.

OBSERVED RESULT
Kmail is unstable, not safe to use. The cure is to quit (sometimes with a crash), restart akonadi wait a bit and launch kmail again. Sometimes this needs to be repeated.

EXPECTED RESULT
Working mail client.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Archlinux
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 18.12.1
Qt Version: 5.12

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I use a laptop, which is closed (=> suspended) often. I suspect that the problem is more likely to happen after waking up after a suspension.
