            Bug ID: 303922
          Severity: normal
           Version: 4.8
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Akonadi server requires restart after a few hours of
                    inactivity, otherwise its services don't work anymore.
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: custos.mentis at gmail.com
          Hardware: Gentoo Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: server
           Product: Akonadi

I use KDE 4.8.4 from Gentoo.  My akonadi is set up to use an external MYSQL
server.  Everything works fine after a fresh login to the kde session. When I
leave it for a few hours inactive and then start, for example, kmail2, it shows
plenty of errors like 'Unable to list items' or 'Error while trying to get the
local inbox folder' and is unable to check emails on my IMAP accounts.

The reason for this problem is nicely described in the following comment:
 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=273612#c7

I think that the solution proposed in the referred comment, i.e., adding
Options="MYSQL_OPT_RECONNECT=1" by default to QMYSQL section of
.config/akonadi/akonadiserverrc could be good enough, since many services in
KDE depend on aconadi now.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to KDE Session.
2. Leave it for several hours.
3. Try to use, e.g. KMail.
Actual Results:  
KMail shows plenty of errors like 'Unable to list items' or 'Error while trying
to get the local inbox folder' and is unable to check emails on IMAP accounts
or list local folders.

Expected Results:  
KMail should work normally.
