My imap account at shentel.net, which is an alias link to mail2world, who 
is useing dovecot as the mail server, petered out and had zero incoming 
after about 13:00 yesterday. Logged in with webmail, no new stuff for 50 
some lists I'm subbed to. Then about 17:00, akonadi quit scanning for new 
msgs every 5 minutes, I called shentel about 20:00 who claimed nothing 
had been changed there. I hadn't changed anything, but when I pulled the 
kmail config open, and checked receiving, and clicked on get what the 
server supports, its switched my working config from ssl on port 995, to 
STARTTLS on 143.  And that worked but I had to enter my passwd at shentel 
prior to every refresh. I did that for several hours and wound up 
rebooting, at which point kwalletd5 apparently decided to use the new 
settings, or something like that and which I'd call a bug in kwalletd5, 
as it should use whatever kmail hands it without forcing a reboot, and 
its working, sorta, since. Traffic is about 10% of what it normally is.

And now firefox is only showing me headers, no actual msg is displayed in 
firefox. And restarting FF does not fix that. So theres something, 
someplace, buggier than a 10 day old road kill in August.

Take care Martin, and stay well.

Cheers, Gene Heskett.
