Hello, I have just install F16 and its latest update. Then I set up my kmail. All my mail are IMAP connection (multiple IMAP servers). For some reason my kmail (running inside Kontact) keep being stuck on "Retrieving Folder Content", no matter what I tried. I tried clicking different folders, kill kontact / kmail from process manager, log out / re-login, and even reboot. And everytime I open kmail, at first it shows whatever message it happens to show, but whenever I tried to click to a different message, it gets stuck again to "Retrieving Folder Contents." Has anyone been seeing this ? I found this bug below from googling but there doesn't seem to be any resolution.

You shouldn't ever have to kill anything. Is kmail hung at that point?
Tried doing akonadictl restart ?
No, kmail still responding e.g. when I clicked around different folders, the message windows just keep showing "Retrieving Folder Contents."
Apparently this happens when there is IMAP folders with large numbers of messages (e.g. order of thousands). For example if I delete this particular account from kmail, kmail seems to behave better. And I use this gmail account for Fedora-KDE and Fedora-Users list (which obviously has tons of messages). I just added this account back, and the stuck behaviour comes back... <sigh>. I am wondering if anyone else is seeing this.

This is the same behavior I've seen for the last several months, and after several tries to get things working even from fresh accounts, I have abandoned kmail.
