           Summary: sometimes imap accounts are not updated any more
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.8
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

i am using kmail with an imap account. sometimes the imap account stops being
updated. kmail is still usable, but new emails do not show up. `check emails'
does have no effect. the only way to restore the functionality is to stop kmail
and to restart akonadi. sometimes it stops working after like 10 minutes,
sometimes it works for an hour.

could be either a deadlock or a starvation.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
use kmail with an imap account and hope for the worst.
deadlocks or starvations are hard to reproduce. instead of testing, a detailed
code analysis may be required.


Expected Results:  
kmail should fetch new mails from an imap account.
