I'm trying to switch to imap from a bunch of pop3 accounts, and came across
this problem.

I have a hypothesis as to what is going on.

Things work fine for a long time under normal circumstances, but if the imap
server disconnects the imap client, akonadi doesn't notice and keeps trying to
use the session, which is now invalid and the server rejects. somehow even
after the rejection the akonadi imap client still doesn't know the session is
dead, and things just stop working in kmail, all while the imap server spams
its own log with "disconnect" messages.

At least thats how it seems to me.

I can sometimes stop the cycle by fully stopping, and restarting my imap
server, but it'll eventually come back. And the other way is by fully stopping
and restarting akonadi. But again, it will eventually come back.
