           Summary: akonadi does not recover from network redirects
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: 1.4.50
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: vkrause at kde.org
        ReportedBy: sven.burmeister at gmx.net
                CC: kdepim-bugs at kde.org


Version:           1.4.50 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

If the first access to the network is redirected, e.g. because the user has to
log-in on a website before being allowed to use the web, akonadi's attempt to
retrieve emails is redirected/stuck as well. Same happens if the user does have
access to the local network but needs to establish a VPN connection to get
internet access.

After the internet connection was established akonadi still fails to get the
email, maybe because it is stuck and still waiting or because the DNS it uses
for the mailbox is not valid because it was the redirected one.

Clicking on "check mail" in kmail does not help, restarting kmail does not help
either and waiting and acceptable amount of time fails as well.

If one restarts akonadi it works.

Since "mobile" people tend to not restart their notebook or KDE but suspend and
resume they would have to restart akonadi each time they get a redirect on the
first network access.

I'm not sure how to get around this issue, but restarting akonadi does not seem
to be the best solution.

Reproducible: Always
