[gentoo-user] Problems accessing gmail with pop3 using kmail/kontact

Hi all,

My patience with kmail is rapidly coming to an end. All those who wish kmail to survive another week on my machine are asked to voice their objections now.

I use it within kontact, and every second day or so I can no longer access my gmail account using pop3. 'killall kio_pop3' tends to fix this so I assume it's some kind of locking issue. But I also have two other pop3 accounts where this does not happen, and I can invariably get to gmail in a browser when kmail locks up.

Anyone know of a solution? I have a perfectly normal install:

nazgul ~ # eix kmail
[I] kde-base/kmail

     Available versions: (3.5) 3.5.5-r1 3.5.5-r2 (~)3.5.6-r1 (~) 3.5.6-r2 (~)3.5.6-r3 (~)3.5.7

     Installed versions: 3.5.7(3.5)(00:45:57 06/04/07)(-arts crypt -debug -elibc_FreeBSD kdeenablefinal -xinerama)
