When one of the imap servers I am using has an error, the akonadi server shows
every couple of minutes an error message in a flashing window: it appears and
immediately disappears. The window flashes too quickly to be readable; I had to
make a movie with my phone, and watch it frame by frame, to be able to read the
message.
I am attaching a 1 sec video demonstrating the problem. There are several
issues here:
*) the window flashing going every minute or so is annoying
*) it is very hard to see the window reports a problem with akonadi
*) even once the message has been read, there is no easy way to stop the error
windows flashing. Here is a small wishlist:
== fix the flashing issue (obviously...)
== add a Pause/Unpause button in the "account configuration window" of kmail
== add an option to entirely disable such error windows. There could be
other ways to notify that a resource is down
The message is in french, basically it says:
Title: authentification impossible --- [$Imap_resource_name]
The server from the account "$Imap_resource_name" has refused the username and
the password.
Do you want to open the configuration window, try connecting again, or do
nothing
Connection error: The server replied A000004 NO AUTHENTICATE failed
Buttons: [Account configuration] [Try again] [Cancel]
Now the strange part: I have another configured Imap resource. If I enter the
wrong password in that resource, then the same error window (for that other
account) appears and works as expected: it appears, and wait for me to click
one of the buttons. What can I do to debug this ?
I have an up-to-date fedora 38 linux, running with Wayland and kde
