Bug 135712 – KMail 3.5.2: Could not start process for imaps

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Marco Nierlich 2006-06-05 21:15:34 UTC]

After having upgraded split ebuilds to kde-3.5.2 (list see below), Kmail refuses to check my IMAP mailbox configured to be accessed with imaps. When trying to access the mailbox I get the error "Could not start process for imaps". Settings can not be changed because of bug http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135711

[Comment 3 eipi 2006-09-14 22:01:13 UTC]

I don't have this mime problem (related to ksysoca as far as I understand) and still kmail-1.9.1 (gentoo version is 3.5.2-r4) cannot run any imap processes. When I try to fetch my mail, I get a message "The process for the protocol imap://server... died unexpectedly" (the message is in french so here is my translation!).

See I attach my ~/.xsession-errors which shows that kmail is receiving a SIGSEGV signal so it is a clear bug.


Then, my emerge --info:
