Description Christian C 2018-05-16 19:11:08 CEST
Description of problem:
After seeing that my emails were not updated since I have switched to kmail2, I checked in my webmail https://fr.mail.yahoo.com/d/folders/1 and saw that no email have been retrieved during the last days.
I checked my imap settings in kmail that are correct:

    Server : imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Port : 993
    SSL required : yes

When I wanted to check the password in my kmail configuration (Accounts->Receiving), I noted that my yahoo account had a red icon with the message Unable to start (what wasn't the case these last 4 days) and if I clicked on Modify, nothing happened.
Why is it unable to start ? What has happened ?
I clicked on restart and the red icon disappeared.
The message is then replaced by something like "connection established" but no message is downloaded.
As a result, I still can't access 4 days of yahoo mails.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use an imap yahoo mail
2.
3.

Comment 1 Aurelien Oudelet 2020-08-16 17:15:00 CEST
Mageia 6 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-09-30. It is no longer 
maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug 
fix updates.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan 
to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to 
a later Mageia version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we 
weren't able to fix it before Mageia 6's end of life. If you are able to 
reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click 
on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent
Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them
obsolete.

If you would like to help fixing bugs in the future, don't hesitate to join the
packager team via our mentoring program [1] or join the teams that fit you 
most [2].
