           Summary: kmail stop sending mail
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 1.99.0
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: yngve.levinsen at gmail.com


Version:           1.99.0 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

Sometimes KMail decides to stop sending my e-mails. I am quite unsure what
triggers this, and so I tried at first to ask on the mailing list. See
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kdepim-users&m=131914525718759&w=2

What happens is that the mails are being sent, but never succeeds. My
impression is that restarting KMail does not solve the problem. Restarting the
machine does. Restarting Akonadi probably does as well, but I haven't succeeded
in solving it that way yet.

Mail checking works as before, and I continue to receive mails from what I can
understand.

I just had this problem again now, and *this* particular time, I got asked to
open my password wallet when I clicked on "send the messages in the queue" for
the outbox folder. The mails were then sent (so I cannot provide detailed
checks now). Other times this has not happened, and doing this has resolved
nothing. When I clicked "send e-mail" initially, I was not asked for password.
Could there be some kind of bug between KMail and the KDE Wallet system?

I have four imap accounts, one mbox account (reading /var/spool/mail) and one
maildir (which I think is the "local folders" and does not have an official
path to reside in the settings). I was suggested to see if disabeling the mbox
account helped any, but haven't had the chance to test this yet.

I will try to update with further info and I am of course available for any
questions. I open this bug report now so that if others observe a similar
problem we can collect info.

For anyone that observes this bug, could you try to check (as per mail from
Andras Mantia):
1) does the Mail Dispatcher Agent running (you can check in akonadiconsole)
2) if yes, is it online?
3) do you have an MBOX account?
4) if you run a mail check in KMail, can you see it checks all your 
accounts?
5) can you send the mails by right-clicking on Outbox and using Send Queued 
Messages?



Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Ehm, keep KMail open for a while. Unsure what triggers it. Send an e-mail.

Actual Results:  
E-mails are left in the outbox, never sent. The status bar in lower right
corner never finish.

Expected Results:  
E-mails are sent.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 3.0-ARCH
Compiler: gcc
