           Summary: Mail Dispatcher Agent went offline for unknown reason
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: 4.7
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Mail Dispatcher Agent
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: a.vanloon at alexandervanloon.nl
                CC: vkrause at kde.org


Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

With Akonadi 1.6.2 and KMail 4.7.3 KMail I experienced this twice now two days
ago and today. I don't remember changing anything with package updates or in
configuration regarding Akonadi or KMail. What happened is that when I sent an
e-mail in KMail it wasn't sent, but it was just placed in the Outbox, doing
nothing there.

After a Google query I found this –
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=129839 – advice. I opened the
Akonadi console, noticed the Mail Dispatcher Agent being offline for some
reason. Toggling it back to online fixed it immediately, the e-mail was sent.
My conclusion is that the MDA went offline by itself for some reason I can't
fathom. Not sure if I can reproduce this, but if there are logs of some kind
I'd be happy to provide them.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
No idea as I said, but maybe someone who does have an idea might find this
bugreport and realize more people are affected.


Expected Results:  
The MDA should never go offline in such a sneaky manner without the user being
aware of it, KMail gave me no error message at all and I had no idea what was
wrong.
