[Gutsy] Kontact Error: Could not login into mail account - passwd may be wrong

[Rich Johnson]

Binary package hint: kdepim

After Kontact is up and running, when I do a manual mail check, I receive the following error:
............
Could not login to mail.mymailhost.com. The password may be wrong.

The server said: "[IN-USE] account busy (locked by another POP3 process)"
............

This just started after the updates here on 2007-08-28 (CST).

In my opinion this bug must be put in high importance, because it doesen't permit to send mail and receive. one of the main features of Kontact are send mail.... then I put it as 'high importance'

I have the same problem here. It seems that this is related to the fact that the connection to the POP3 server is kept alive after mail download.

After some time, the connection seems to be closed and it is possible to download mail again.

The problem seems to have disappeared after last upgrade. It installed the following files (which may or may not be relevant for solving the problem:
