           Summary: Kmail reports, that server doesn't support UIDL

          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

OS:                Linux

Hello,
recently kmail started to report quite regularly, that the server
doesn't support UIDL. The server is Dovecot and using telnet to the server
one can request the UIDLs without problems.
After that message Kmail also complains several times, that it obtains 
invalid responses from the server.
Suddenly the program works o.k., seems to depend on the current number (?) of
mails on the server, and the messages are downloaded without problems. 
I configured kmail to leave the mails on the server.
Of course, I do get a large number of double (and threefold) messages.
Downloading the mails with thunderbird makes no problem at all.
Best regards


Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Seems to be related with the state of the mail file on the server.
Happens approximately every hour; when it happens, it takes some time, until it
works again.



Expected Results:  
Download the mail, sort out multiple mails.

KDE-version is already 4.4.5
