            Bug ID: 362695
           Summary: Kmail process continues running after exiting with
                    File->quit.
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.1.3
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: critical
          Priority: NOR
         Component: misc
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: pospiech-HD at t-online.de

Kmail doesn't exit after hitting File->quit. Prior to restart, this process has
to be killed by sending SIGTERM to the process. Otherwise it is not possible to
start Kmail again. Occasionally that leaves the Akonadi database in an odd
state (PimItemTable has entries with remoteId = NULL). At least occasionally
this leads to loss of emails - which may bee seen as a secondary effect due to
the disgraceful exit via SIGTERM signal.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Kmail
2. Execute File->quit
3. Inspect process table (e.g. with ps command)

Actual Results:  
Kmail process found running and needs to be killed by sending SIGTERM.

Expected Results:  
No Kmail process left after File->quit .

Akonadi uses external MySQL (/usr/sbin/mysqld) as backend.
