           Summary: Archiving folders is not robust
           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 Devel) 
OS:                Linux

If there is a network glitch during archiving folders from an IMAP server the
operation is aborted. This makes it nearly impossible to archive large folder
structures. Even the connection to google mail is sometimes disconnected. In
such a situation archiving should resume the operation or give the user the
time to fix the network connection and then allow resuming of the operation.

There are other reasons to be more robust:
- DSL connections are often disconnected by the providers once a day
- Mobile connections are extremely unreliable and often have to be resetted.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to archive 8 GiB of mails from an IMAP-Server and then simulate a network
connection failure.

Actual Results:  
Archiving is aborted.

Expected Results:  
An option to resume the operation after the network has been restored.
