Thanks for your attention.

I really admire the integration of servers under Kontact so I recently
installed KMail. The problem is that when I set up the IMAP account under the
instruction of Gmail (and some articles related to KMail), the folders on my
account is shown in KMail but can hardly get my mails. With a lot of attemps to
set up the account, sometimes there are few mails can be received (less than
60) while there should be more than 1000 mails in my Gmail account.

Here is my settings for the IMAP account:
Account name: Ukyoi's Gmail
IMAP server: imap.gmail.com
User name: ukyoid at gmail.com
Password: (My Google account password)
Encryption: SSL/TLS
authentication method: Clear text

Is it caused by wrong setting or it's a bug? Would it be possible to solve the
problem?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setting up the IMAP account under the instruction of Gmail
2. Getting mail.
Actual Results:  
Few or even no mails can be seen in KMail.

Expected Results:  
All mails can be received.
