I have probably the same problem since the last update to akonadi 18.04/5.8.2
on friday 9th (archlinux).
One of my IMAP accounts (volny.cz) stopped working in kmail just after the
update. The original settings was STARTTLS/143. But as I verified later, the
server volny.cz doesn't support STARTTLS for IMAP at all. So, it seems that for
many years I was connected insecure from k9-mail and from kmail. :-/
But in my case, changing to other configurations (insecure connection or
SSL/993) doesn't work too.
Actually, there is another annoying behaviour of akonadi, which leads into
state, when I'm most probably blocked on the server as a spammer (Because I'm
unable to logging from my phone via the k9-mail anymore - without changing
anything there).

There is a strange window (Please excuse my free translation fom Czech language
and my poor English):

Unable to verify - Volny.cz type E-mail IMAP server
Server for account "Volny.cz" refused given username and password.
Authentication method failed, server answered: A000002 NO Bad username or
password [ AUTHENTICATIONFAILED  ]

I keep getting these windows. Sometimes I have more than 30 instances of these
windows appeared at the same time, sometimes, a previous instance get
immediately closed automatically. But they are steeling mouse focus for more
than one second with terrible window blinking.

And even if the account gets blocked in akonadi after a while with strange
message (which is not true anyway):
"Unable to read password: User refused access to wallet", I'm probably still
keep getting these windows even they are not visible (periodically loosing
focus until I stop akonadi completely).

In akonadi, I have next three IMAP accounts with TLS configured and it seems
that they work correctly.
