Hello,

I am suffering that all IMAP accounts are offline after upgrade and I canno=
t bring them online. I am not aware of the source of the problem. I thought=
 it is a general problem of kmail/akonadi, but yesterday I found out, it is=
 not general. I upgraded also another machine outside of my network and it =
is working OK. I am not aware of any differences I did not try to overcome.

The only differences I am aware of are:

1. In the local network I use kerberos and GSSAPI authentication together w=
ith NFS hoem directories. But I tried to create also new local account with=
 local home directory and PLAIN authentication with the same result. Also c=
lean profile was present so no failed profile upgrade is there. Evolution w=
orks perfectly.

2. I use polkit policy not to allow users to setup interfaces. But I tried =
also same policy on the external machine and it is still working. So it is =
still not the source of the problems.

I am not aware of any other differences. Maybe some missing package (depend=
ency problem)? But which one?

I think akonadi, or plasma, or something is thinking I have no connectivity=
, but I do not know how. I suspect is it hidden somewhere in Qt, but I am n=
ot aware of means the Qt is checking for connectivity. I tried tcpdump, but=
 there is no attempt to do any communication.

Thanks

Marek

 I was using kmail for years, but after recent update to Fedora 40 I am not=
 able to access my IMAP resources any more. Am I doing something wrong or i=
s the IMAP support in kmail broken?
