Description Christian C 2020-02-28 11:07:25 CET

Description of problem:

My /var/log/messages file is filled with messages like :

Feb 28 09:31:30 localhost akonadi_imap_resource[8188]: org.kde.pim.kimap: Connection to server lost  0
Feb 28 09:31:30 localhost akonadi_imap_resource[8188]: org.kde.pim.kimap: Connection to server lost  0
Feb 28 09:31:30 localhost akonadi_imap_resource[8188]: org.kde.pim.kimap: Connection to server lost  0
Feb 28 09:31:30 localhost akonadi_imap_resource[8188]: org.kde.pim.kimap: Connection to server lost  0
Feb 28 09:31:31 localhost akonadi_imap_resource[8188]: org.kde.pim.kimap: Connection to server lost  0
Feb 28 09:31:31 localhost akonadi_imap_resource[8188]: org.kde.pim.kimap: Connection to server lost  0
Feb 28 09:31:31 localhost akonadi_imap_resource[8188]: org.kde.pim.kimap: Connection to server lost  0
Feb 28 09:31:32 localhost akonadi_imap_resource[8188]: org.kde.pim.kimap: Connection to server lost  0
Feb 28 09:31:32 localhost akonadi_imap_resource[8188]: org.kde.pim.kimap: Connection to server lost  0
Feb 28 09:31:32 localhost akonadi_imap_resource[8188]: org.kde.pim.kimap: Connection to server lost  0

As you can see, /var/log/messages stores between 3 to 4 identical messages in one second about the same loss of connection to a server what makes it difficult to read without pre-processing.

Could it be possible to reduce the occurrence of such messages ?

I cannot test whether this is 'normal' akonadi behaviour. Would be worth asking on https://www.mageialinux-online.org/forum/ whether other people have the same problem.

Assigning to the KDE people anyway. I checked for no duplicate (there are other akonadi bugs, though).

I found it is produced by an email account whose connection parameters are outdated.

Thanks for that conclusion.
