Description of problem: Updated Mageia 6 with tha last update. After that the connection from akonadi to the local IMAP server generated an error "Connection to server lost 8". Unsetting all the system proxy settings (http_proxy, https_proxy and ftp_proxy) suprisingly made it possible to connect again. But after setting the proxies back it STILL (??) works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kmail-17.12.2 How reproducible: Always after upgrade (?) Steps to Reproduce: 1.Use your email normally 2.Upgdate Mageia with newest updates 3.Find that IMAP connection will not work This is really more of a hint for the others that are seeing the same problem but if there is something the distro can do to prevent it would have saved me some hours of tracing and debugging.
Tested a bit more and: - The critical setting is http_proxy - After a relogin this can always be repeated even after the upgrade which elevates this to a real bug, not an annoyance. - And it is the "system proxy" that affects this not the KDE proxy setting (which was set to "No proxy") Checked with something else set here and it doesnt make a difference
Severity: minor => normal
Does this only happen with kmail, or also with other e-mail clients? How exactly did you set your http proxy?

Only in kmail. Saw some vague hints on the web about the kf5 socket interface behving strangely lately. Might be related to that. http_proxy set in drakconf.

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 It is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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].
