Bug ID: 508107
Summary: Kontact/Kmail does not fetch emails from servers and
can't send messages.
Classification: Applications
Product: kontact
Version First 6.4.3
Reported In:
Platform: NixOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: mail

SUMMARY
After opening Kontact/Kmail (happens in both), I can see that it tries to
connect to all my email accounts via IMAP (a mix of Google, Proton, and
self-hosted email accounts) but nothing is actually fetched and there is no
visible error. Furthermore, all emails that were previously fetch are not
visible in the UI, instead I just get an empty list. The only time I get an
actual error is when I try sending an email, or when doing a Akonadi fsck. This
started after updating Plasma to 6.4.4.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have IMAP accounts configured
2. Try to open a folder for said account to view emails
3. Try to fetch new messages from server
4. Try to send an email
OBSERVED RESULT
Viewing already fetched emails or checking for new emails silently fails,
sending emails gives an error about not being able to insert something into the
database, and fsck on the database has errors.
EXPECTED RESULT
It should be able to view emails, fetch new emails, and send emails.
