           Summary: kmail cannot fetch mails after a mail with no body was
                    received
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: bruno at clisp.org
          Hardware: Compiled Sources
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kmail2

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:9.0) Gecko/20100101

Build Identifier: 

kmail+kdepim version 4.7.4.

I fetch mails through POP3. I receive a lot of spam. Occasionally, one of these
spam mails has no body. kmail's behaviour in this case is:
It fetches all mails that arrived prior to that particular mail, including that
particular mail, but it does not delete any of the mails.
Therefore, when I fetch mails again, the same mails arrive again, leading to
duplicates.
But I can not access/download the mails that arrived that particular one!
Blocked!

I have to go out and delete the particular mail manually, like in the
transcript below. After this, kmail can again fetch mails normally.
