           Summary: kmail does not fetch mails
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.8
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bartoschek at gmx.de


Version:           4.8 (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

I log in into my machine, start kmail and wait till new mails arrive. But kmail
sometimes does not fetch any mail. The status indicator says that the services
are preparing fetching mails.

I think this has something to do with the kwallet or ksecretsservice
integration. Several times I have seen that kwalletmanager showed me my wallet
empty. I then killed kwalletd and restarted akonadi. I was then asked for the
password again and kmail started to work. Till now this always helped after I
found this out.

I have the impression that kmail is extremely fragile when it comes to
passwords. One should not enter a wrong password for the wallet. Needing two
tries leads to trouble. I also see that already stored passwords are reasked.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to enter a wrong password for your kwallet first. Or press ESC for the
kwallet dialog.

Actual Results:  
Nothing is fetched. There is no network traffic from kmail or akonadi on port
POP3 or POP3S

Expected Results:  
Mails are fetched.
