kmail hangs when downloading email

[John Perry]

Hello

Kmail works okay on some of my accounts and some of my computers, but on one 
IMAP account on one computer it likes to hang when downloading email. For 
instance, right now it's saying, "Syncing folder 'Trash' (100%)" and if I 
click on an email nothing happens; if I double-click a dialog pops up stating, 
"Please wait while the message is transferred," but nothing ever happens.

I looked at Akonadi Console and I see that a number of "SyncCollection" jobs 
are left at state "Waiting" with info "491", "492", ..., "496". There's also a 
"SyncAllDone" and "SyncCollectionAttributes" left at state "Waiting". The Job 
Tracker tells me that Akonadi::ItemSync is Running on Collection 490 (INBOX) 
and Akonadi::TransactionSequence is Running, but every instance of 
Akonadi::ItemCreateJob and Akonadi::ItemFetchJob has ended.

I once deleted this kmail account (IMAP, so no great loss) and re-created it 
and it seemed to work, but after not very long at all it started hanging 
again.

Does anyone have a suggestion on what might be going wrong, and how to fix it?

regards
john perry
