More information on my experience with this bug. I think it happens when the
internet connection has been extremely slow (but not offline). Sometimes the
account folders are greyed out in KMail2 then, sometimes they aren't, but the
symptoms are the same. It refuses to check for new mail (I mean, nothing
happens). It also doesn't send out mail and instead queues it. Sometimes I can
read in the pop-up progress bar "0% - is not in the network" (this is what the
Finnish text means), but usually it doesn't indicate any activity (I mean,
nothing happens).

I think a workaround is to select "Work offline" from the main menu, then
select "Work online". Afterwards everything seems to be ok again. My hunch is
that KMail2's function for detecting network online status gets thrown off by
slow/unreliable connections and doesn't attempt to detect at a later stage if
the connection is actually still working.
