Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: kmail
Hi,
On a laptop with Kmail IMAP setup, when the machine's IP address changes
(i.e. the laptop is suspended, moved to another location, resumed and
gets a new Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection), Kmail open IMAP session blocks
- send-receive action blocks and the send-receive process needs to be
manually cancelled and restarted for Kmail to reconnect to server, or
one has to wait for a very long timeout.
Same goes when the laptop has been suspended for some time and
reconnects to the same network.
Desired behaviour : Kmail should notice that the IP address has changed
or a long time has passed without IMAP session activity, and should
restart a new IMAP session in such a situation by itself.
Having to cancel the mail process then restart it everytime one suspends
his laptop gets somewhat annoying in the long run ;-)
