Bug Description
I have multiple accounts (15) some quite high traffic (mailing lists)
I leave kmail running 247 checking mail at the default 1 min intervals, at first mail arrives as expected.
After 1 - 2 days I just dont get any mail, If I stop then restart kmail I get a ton of new emails.
It appears to go to sleep without any outward sign of problems. The status bar at the bottom still flickers that it is checking for new mail but none is received.
I tried to find a kmail debug mode but was unsuccessful :(

Hi Dave,
thank you for reporting.
Did you ever recognise this problem when you had only a single account?
Kmail has a progress bar on the lower side of the window. It shows the progress of the current action that takes place (e.g. download of emails). What's on the progress bar when kmail stops receiving messages? Does it stop at a certain percentage (e.g. 20%)?
Do you have a connection that suffers disconnects (e.g. dsl-connections are disconnected every 24 hours)? Can you correlate the disconnections and kmail stopping to receive emails?
Best regards,
Lothar
