I'm using the English locale :-) Unfortunately, setting the sync interval doesn't seem to have an effect. Neither does manually checking mail for the account or updating the folder. I only get new messages when I restart the corresponding agent in Akonadi Console. I can also trigger a sync by switching the Read-Only only option. Incidentally, when switching read-only off, I get this curious notification: Resource My-Server is broken. This resource is now online (I'm also regularly getting that message for my local MBox account, which otherwise works without a problem.) Versions: KMail 4.11.5, Akonadi 1.11.0-1 Thanks for your comments. Michael -- Michael Schuerig mailto:michael@schuerig.de http://www.schuerig.de/michael/
