Problem with kontact on Fedora 14

[Fabio Canepa]

Hi,
I've installed Fedora 14 and I've some problems with my IMAP account in
kontact.
1) Whenever I start kontact some mail are not retrieved correctly and there
is an "Unknow" group where these messages are shown with "Unknow"
subject,
"unknown" sender and "unknown" date. If I read the "unknow"
messages the
missing data are retrieved correctly and then the "unknow" group disappear.

2) Sometime when I start kontact i get the following error:

Error while retrieving messages.

The process for the imaps://XXXX protocol died unexpectedly.

I didn't have this problem on Fedora 13 updated with kde 4.5 form
update-testing. Is something related to qt 4.7 ?

Cheers,

I am seeing this same problem on my Fedora 14 install with KMail (1.13.5).
Whenever I restart KMail and check mail, it comes up frequently, and I have to
keep dismissing and re-checking mail. Eventually, my inbox refreshes and I can
see new mail. I then end up with a bunch of messages with (No Subject), Sender
Unknown and Date Unknown.

My Fedora 13 machine (running fedora-testing, also with KMail 1.13.5) doesn't
have this problem at all.

Cheers,

Chris

I had a similar problem with my POP mail account (no IMAP), after
upgrading to FC14 after updating to 4.5 from updates-testing.

The fix for me was to upgrade from the kde-testing repository.

YMMV.
