STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Set up a new IMAP account in kmail, a DAV address book in Kontact and a DAV calendar in KOrganizer 2. Folders/DAV are synced, but no mails/contacts/calendar data, as account goes immediatly offline 3. Telling the account to go online has no effect. All other apps, also thunderbird, are online and retrieve/send without a problem to the same server over the same connection. OBSERVED RESULT Mails/contacts/calendars can't be synced, no matter what. EXPECTED RESULT Mails/contacts/calendars should be synced, account should be online checking for updated data. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: OpenSuse Tumbleweed KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.9.0 Qt Version: 6.8.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I use nordvpn for the interrnet connection, but as I said, all this works over the same connection with thunderbird. As all the parts of Kontact are affected, could akonadi be the problem?
I installed package "akonadi-apparmor" and the account went online for several seconds, downloaded all the mail, then went offline again.
nordvpn are you using a web browser app to control the VPN? does KDE Network Manager indicate any connection issues when nordvpn is running?
(In reply to Allen Winter from comment #2) > nordvpn > are you using a web browser app to control the VPN? > does KDE Network Manager indicate any connection issues when nordvpn is > running? No, I use the rpm directly from NordVPN. KDE Network Manager indicated that the internet connection would be restricted. So I did a fresh install without NordVPN and everything works like intended. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Coincidentally, I've been having similar issues with ExpressVPN recently. then I finally realized Network Manager wasn't happy starting the VPN from the Firefox app. so I had to by-hand create a real VPN configuration in Network Manager. sounds like nordVPN is better than expressVPN in this regard.
So, I did more testing and found out the following: - NordVPN installed the official way using this manual https://support.nordvpn.com/hc/en-us/articles/20398426993809-Installing-and-using-NordVPN-on-openSUSE-Linux leads to Kontact/KMail/KOrganizer being offline all the time. - Unistalling the app NordVPN restored Kontact/KMail/KOrganizer being online again. - Installing NordVPN manually in KDE Networkmanager by importing the VPN connection file from my NordVPN account gives me a working VPN while maintaining Kontact/KMail/KOrganizer being online. So that's the fix. Side note: I email NordVPN with the problem. Maybe they can find an easier fix.
yep. exactly the same for expressvpn
