I have got the same problem!
To "unblock" kmail2 I set it to work in offline mode. After that I receive 
a lot of notify that was impossible to connect to the server in offline 
mode. I disable the offline mode and I can see my email from gmail imap.

I just change the setting you suggest in my gmail account...for now it 
resolve my problem...but I need more time to be sure to have the problem 
solved...

Thank you very much!

P.S. sorry for my English...
