Bug#898696: akonadi: Akonadi enter in a loop because it can't read account password
Package: libkf5mailtransportakonadi5
Version: 17.12.3-1
Severity: normal
File: akonadi
Dear Maintainer,
One IMAP Akonadi agent try forever, without success, to read the password from Kwallet. All passwords are stored in kwallet, which is setup to allways give access on request.
Launching Akonadiconsole show message like "Can't read password. User has rejected Kwallet access for this Agent." (which I haven't).
It allways happens at the session launch. But sometimes nothing happens for the entire day.
The bug begins after last major update.
I tried without success to :
- disabling email checking for this IMAP account (even after Akonadi or session restart) ;
- erasing password : Akonadi ask for the password and then try forever to read it ;
- restarting Akonadi ;
- restarting session.
The emails are all stored locally for offline reading.
Launching Kmail, I can read and browse emails from this "faulty" account.
Just in case, the IMAP account is from free.fr, the two others are from gmail and OVH.
Furthermore :
- I would expect Akonadi to not try to connect if email checking is disabled.
- The whole KDE desktop became unusable as all menus and pop-up flickers on access. All mouse clicks on menus are silently rejected. Fortunatly, I have direct access to terminal icon. I'm not using wayland.
