           Summary: kmail IMAP connector fails to work. Repetitive restarts
                    of the program are needed to access mail.
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: xlastovi03 quick cz


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

My IMAP setup works some time after I start kmail (via kontact). But after a while not using the mail, kmail hangs somewhere during periodic check of mail. The progress indicator is stuck with some number, which is sometimes negative! (often -1%). Which is worse that the stuck operation cannot be aborted by clicking on the close button of the progress dialog. It then just says "aborting" forever.
  I think the problem might be caused because of my wifi connection to net, which is not too reliable. But TCP layer and kmail should cope with that.
  The severity could be crash because it is needed to restart program to work again.
