kmail and kalarm windows after killing akonadi processes (374.45 KB, image/png)

Description Christian C 2019-08-01 12:51:32 CEST
Description of problem:

As described in the Summary, kmail becomes unusable since the screen becomes filled with these error windows (see the joined screen shots).
I thought that deactivating the periodical mail verification in the account configuration would avoid this screen invasion but no. It changes nothing.

So the only solution I found to still use my network connection (the other was to disconnect the computer from the internet :-/ ) was to kill all the akonadi processes.
It works but kmail becomes completely unusable (I precise that I could still read my email offline when I was disconnected) and kalarm too (see the joined screen shots) !

Have you a better workaround ?

Thanks.

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


How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. have an imap server authentication error
2. open your session with akonadi activated
3.
