[Bug 795342] [NEW] Email clients fail to reconnect after ip address change

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Email clients (tested with KMail and Thunderbird) fail to reconnect when
my laptop has been suspended and moved to a different location and then
resumed. Wifi reconnects just fine and I can use any browser, but tested
email programs fail to connect to IMAP servers.

KMail usually shows a message about retrieving folders for namespace
whereas Thunderbird just "hangs". KMail works somewhat better as network
activity can be canceled and restarted within the program whereas
Thunderbird needs to be terminated and restarted.

Here is an old KDE bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74484 but
this does not only affect KMail.
