I can confirm this bug. I have been getting exactly the same problem on and off for a \
couple of years using kmail. I believe it is agravated by network congestion, \
particularly on the uplink to my ISP (hightly asymmetric link, so this is the most \
common congestion for me). It appears that there is no timeout in the kio_pop3 \
process, or that in a specific set of circumstances the timeout is not handled \
properly. I find that a kill (TERM, not -9) to the kio_pop3 process causes it to \
exit, after which subsequent mailbox checks work correctly, or at least have the same \
chance of working as any other check does.

I tend to run my machine 24/7, and have previously come back from weekends away to \
find the kio_pop3 process is several days old and still stuck.
