Hi all,

sorry for the silence, only now got a some time to reply. Thanks for taking 
the interest.

One is GMail IMAP, no idea what they're using. The other is dovecot IMAP 
server. Happens on both.

I'll try, but it's rather random. For instance, right now the resource for the 
dovecot IMAP is "stuck", it doesn't even show-up in the list of running 
operations when I hit "check mail". If I restart Akonadi it will probably 
happily work. So not sure how to test this.

I do seem to have some MySQL error logs though. How should I send these?

How can I check this? Where should I see this in KMail?

I only use KMail, I do not use any other means of accessing my e-mail, unless 
KMail already refuses to work and I have something very urgent to do -- only 
then I use webmail.

Will try running it today like this, and if I run into the issue, I'll send 
the log your way. How do you want the log sent? It might be too large for an 
e-mail.

This might be part of the problem, I did experience a couple of kernel panics 
lately. The problems have started happening also without recent kernel panics, 
however.

I have 429 dangling items, apparently.

How should I send the list your way?
