The current state of the kmail and akonadi

[Marek Greško]

Hello,

I am suffering that all IMAP accounts are offline after upgrade and I cannot bring them online. I am not aware of the source of the problem. I thought it is a general problem of kmail/akonadi, but yesterday I found out, it is not general. I upgraded also another machine outside of my network and it is working OK. I am not aware of any differences I did not try to overcome.

The only differences I am aware of are:

1. In the local network I use kerberos and GSSAPI authentication together with NFS hoem directories. But I tried to create also new local account with local home directory and PLAIN authentication with the same result. Also clean profile was present so no failed profile upgrade is there. Evolution works perfectly.

2. I use polkit policy not to allow users to setup interfaces. But I tried also same policy on the external machine and it is still working. So it is still not the source of the problems.

I am not aware of any other differences. Maybe some missing package (dependency problem)? But which one?

I think akonadi, or plasma, or something is thinking I have no connectivity, but I do not know how. I suspect is it hidden somewhere in Qt, but I am not aware of means the Qt is checking for connectivity. I tried tcpdump, but there is no attempt to do any communication.

Thanks

Marek
