This issue has been a show stopper for some time now, and is still a current
bug with the latest sources.

I have Alpine and Thunderbird reading from a local Dovecot IMAP server, and
every time I start akonadi/kontact, there is a constant thread/spinning graphic
over the inbox folder icon. The inbox never opens.

In ~/.local/share/akonadi/akonadiserver.error the following error appears:  
ItemRetrieverException :  Resource was unable to deliver item 

New emails in the inbox are displayed in the message list pane as they arrive.
All other unmodified IMAP folders open fine in kmail, unless there has been
some change (message added/deleted) in them too.

Unsubscribing and then re-subscribing the akonadi_imap_resource agent to the
inbox folder fixes the temporarily, until the inbox is modified by another
client. Then there is the huge overhead of akonadi re-indexing 1000s of emails.

Accessing the Maildir folder directly using akonadi_maildir_resource does not
seem to be affected by this bug, but it doesn't recognise the folder structure
in the ~/.maildir.

Running Gentoo with KDE overlay. Akonadi and KDE suite recompiled this weekend
from source (git/svn).
Kontact Version 4.7 pre
KMail Version 2.0.95
