in the last 6-8 months I have been having occasional failure of mail check both interval and manual.
The symptom is the bottom right progress bar shows constant movement with no percentage given and no new mail.Workaround is close kmail, reopen it go to Settings - Configure Mail - Accounts - Receiving - Modify - Apply (without editing anything) - OK and it downloads and will do so for 1~30 days and the same thing happens again.
Doesn't matter which of 4 POP3 accounts I select to (not) modify - all then download
Just open/close does not fix it nor TDE exit/new session or reboot. Machine normally runs 24/7
Has persisted through a complete machine replacement (with the same ~.trinity/share/apps/kmail/mail directory and filters
This is with KMail 1.9.10 (enterprise35.0.20100827.1168748) (Using Trinity 3.5.13.2) on Debian 7 reported by synaptic as kmail-trinity 4.3.5.13.2-0debiian7.0.0+0. The same setup had been working fine for some months beforehand
Any ideas ?

I could get a much better idea of what is going on if, while KMail is stuck, you gather a backtrace and post it to the list.
First, install the tdepim debugging symbols and gdb (sudo apt-get install tdepim-trinity-dbg dbg). Then try to get KMail to hang (apparently this could take a while from what you describe). When kmail hangs do this: 1. )Open a terminal 2.) sudo gdb --pid `pidof kmail` 3.) thread apply all bt <post output to the list> 4.) q 5.) Close terminal, execute temporary workaround you described above
Thanks!
