[Bug 73639] Re: kmail 'goes to sleep'

[dave s]

Wow that was a quick response !

I have always had multiple accounts so unfortunately cannot comment on
single accounts.

The progress bar is 0% and flicks across as account are checked.

Something interesting - if I press the up arrow for more info, I
sometimes get a stuck account, the mailboxes are checked and the info
'block' raises and falls but one or two accounts can seem frozen and do
not go. If I stop and start kmail it cures the problem.

Could it be occasionally there is a problem opening a mailbox 60 X 24 =
1440 reads per 24 hr and when this happens that part of kmail sticks ?

As far as disconnections - no problem - my broadband has been down twice
in the last 2-3 years (happy to say)

Hope this helps

Dave

PS experimenting with ...

#!/bin/bash


if [ -n "$(/bin/ps ax | /bin/grep ' kmail' | /bin/grep -v 'grep')" ] ; then
	killall kmail
	sleep 10
	kmail --display :0 &
fi
