Subject: [gentoo-user] Problems accessing gmail with pop3 using kmail/kontact
Date: Fri, 22 Jun 2007 15:57:10

1 Hi all,
2
3 My patience with kmail is rapidly coming to an end. All those who wish
4 kmail to survive another week on my machine are asked to voice their
5 objections now.
6
7 I use it within kontact, and every second day or so I can no longer
8 access my gmail account using pop3. 'killall kio_pop3' tends to fix
9 this so I assume it's some kind of locking issue. But I also have two
10 other pop3 accounts where this does not happen, and I can invariably
11 get to gmail in a browser when kmail locks up.
12
13 Anyone know of a solution? I have a perfectly normal install:
14
15 nazgul ~ # eix kmail
16 [I] kde-base/kmail
17 Available versions: (3.5) 3.5.5-r1 3.5.5-r2 (~)3.5.6-r1 (~)
