Summary: akonadi imap resource takes several days to sync Gmail
account
Product: Akonadi
Version: unspecified
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: IMAP resource
AssignedTo: er...@kde.org
ReportedBy: stharw...@gmail.com
CC: vkra...@kde.org, kdepim-bugs@kde.org
Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.4.5)
OS:Linux
I have added by Gmail IMAP account to Akonadi several times in the past, but it
always took a long time to synchronize. Akonadi clients (like Kaddressbook and
Kontact) slowed to a crawl while it was synchronizing, and while the resource
was working on one folder, other folders would not get updated, so receiving
new emails was sporadic at best.
So this weekend I finally decided to create an IMAP resource for Gmail let the
synchronizing go all the way to completion. It has thus far taken 4 days to
sync about 800MB of mail, which is just ridiculously slow. And if I browse the
resource using the Akonadi Console, I can see the IMAP tree and it reports the
proper number of messages, but the folders don't appear to contain any messages
within them (ie, the right column in the Browser tab is completely blank), so
I'm not even sure that the messages have downloaded correctly. If Kmail is
going to start using Akonadi in a couple of months, this needs to be improved.
I am happy to help debug, but I really don't know much about Akonadi, so I'll
need instructions like do steps A, B and C and tell us what happens.
Reproducible: Didn't try
The server log is full of messages like the following, which appear about once
every 30 seconds with a new item number:
[akonadiserver] ItemRetrieverException: Unable to retrieve item from resource:
Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did
not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply
timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
[akonadiserver] posting retrieval request for item 1612 there are 1 queues and
0 items in mine
[akonadiserver] checking if request for item 1612 has been processed...
[akonadiserver] request for item 1612 still pending - waiting
Does that indicate there is some kind of problem downloading items from Gmail?
And could the download problems be causing the slow sync, such as making it
wait for a timeout for every one of thousands of items?
