Subject: kontact: kmail unable to send or fetch emails, when connecting to the intenet with wvdial
Date: Sun, 24 Jul 2016 10:53:10 +0300
Package: kontact
Version: 4:16.04.3-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

Following an upgrade to 16.04 from 14, I'm no longer able to send or
recive any emails using kontact.

Clicking on update folder and than on ok on the dialog "it is nesseary
to have a resource online, do you want to make it online" does not help.

When I click on ok on that dialog I expected that Kontact will assume
that there is a network connection and fetch new emails from the server.

Restarting the agent in akonadiconsole bring the agent into state
"connection established" but I still have the "offline" state on the
folder and I can't fetch the emails.

When restarting the agent I get the next traces in the terminal that
had akonadictl start:

Shutting down "akonadi_imap_resource_23" ...

log_imapresource: Session destroyed while still in pool
QObject(0x1d47970)

I have also tried to :

* logout/ login after connectiong to the internet using wvdial.
* killing all kde apps (killall)  after connection to the internet.
* qdbus org.kde.kded5  /modules/networkstatus org.kde.Solid.Networking.setNetworkStatus ntrack 4

After sending ntrack state connected (4), quering the state is 0.

NetworkManager is not installed, using wvdial+pppd only to connect to
the internet.

This is connected to a feature request in wvdial https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=803928 , but I do not think wvdial is the only one which need to get the blame.
