--- Comment #87 from Maurel <guy-kde maurel de> 2010-11-10 18:28:06 ---
I have made an analyse of the problem, one can read at the
kde-pim@ on 2010-10-31. The bug 77862 is:
- not an IMAP problem, all other protocols would have it too,
- not a kmail problem, all other front-end mail-tool also,
- not a KDE problem.
This is an IP-v4 problem we cannot solve. All applications which have
(long time) connections could have the problem at any time.
Let me quote a white paper from "www.isode.com".
http://www.isode.com/whitepapers/imap-idle.html
Beside my analyse they publish the same :
"... Another practical problem is that current phone networking technology
will lose IP network connectivity from time to time, and this will need to be
automatically re-established, and the IMAP connection re-established if this is
lost due to a long network failure. ..."
We can only propose some workarounds.
Even my proposals were workarounds. The best one is to change the
timeout at waitForRead, as proposed, a long time ago, by Robert Huitl on
2009-10-25
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77862#c48
and improve the errorhandling after that.
As David Faure notices at Comment #85, the situation at airport wifi is not
very stable. The timeout should not be too short. As the connection comes
again, we might get the same IP-address as before.
I propose a value of 20 seconds.
