Kmail doesn't get mail

Hello,

I had been annoyed with the fact that Kmail doesn't get mail, although there
is a connection established; sometimes Kmail recognizes the connection and
fetches mail, other times not.

Most strange, is when I log out (end session) and login again, Kmail
recognizes the connection and gets mail.

Is it some command that is executed at login (like .profile) that makes
Kmail work correctly?

Best regards,
António

Hi Antonio,

How do you know that connection is established?
Can you browse the Internet when Kmail can't retrieve emails?
Do you start KMail manually or automatically with KDE?

Please open Konsole, from File menu select New Root Shell, give root
password, and run command:
ifconfig
Copy output in your post. It will show status of your connection.
