Public bug reported: Email clients (tested with KMail and Thunderbird) fail to reconnect when my laptop has been suspended and moved to a different location and then resumed. Wifi reconnects just fine and I can use any browser, but tested email programs fail to connect to IMAP servers.
KMail usually shows a message about retrieving folders for namespace whereas Thunderbird just "hangs". KMail works somewhat better as network activity can be canceled and restarted within the program whereas Thunderbird needs to be terminated and restarted. Here is an old KDE bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74484 but this does not only affect KMail.
