            Bug ID: 378025
           Summary: kmail does not send email
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.4.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: grave
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: farandole at mt2015.com
  Target Milestone: ---

A few months ago kmail started to silently fail to send emails, they still
appear in the outbox. For a while I worked around this issue by opening the
email from the outbox and click the button to send it. 

After a few weeks of this, those email would reappear in the outbox as if they
were not sent, and opening them to send them would stall kmail until I stopped
and restarted akonadi. According to the recipients sometimes they received
nothing, sometimes they received several duplicates (each for one of my
attempt).

Now trying to open the emails stuck in the outbox shows a "retrieving folder
contents" page and a small box with a progress bar and only a cancel button
saying "please wait while the message is trasnfered". And it just stay stuck
like that. Those messages being in local folders this message does not make
much sense.

Expected behaviour:
- clicking the send button would actually send the email each and every time
- trying to open a message from the outbox would actually open it and not stall
forever.
