I noticed, that if i leave akonadi enough time, it somehow reestablishes a
working connection, again. I can't say, when and how, but i need to wait
several minutes after the connection loss.
BUT: In akonadi-1.6.1 (I think) must have been a change, that somehow reacts on
the changes the connection loss leaves, and tries to roll back or something
like that. The effect: some - not all - already read and fully downloaded mails
get marked as unread and removed from cache. This means a) confusion about the
current state in correspondence (re-reading mails until the obvious gets
realised) and re-downloading mails. The last one is the really bad thing here:
We have 45kb/s, and larger mails (which arrive quite often) really take a lot
of time to download! Re-downloading means loss of time.

This problem is really so annoying. I don't know, what to do! Up to more then
30 (!) internet-reconnects a day the last weeks, and every time akonadi-imap
refuses to work. akonadictl restart took 20-30 seconds, after that it worked
again. But now I need to redownload Megabytes again and again. If there won't
be a fix, I need to change email-client - sorry :\ Akonadi looked and looks
quite promising, kmail integrates so nice into the desktop. But this problem
makes daily-email a gambling.
