Whenever kio_imap4 has a problem, it pops up an error dialog. Screenshot at

http://www.interlink.com.au/anthony/tmp/kio_imap_dialog.png

Notice in this dialog, we have 'Continue' and 'Cancel' buttons. Cancel is actually "restart kio_imap4" (which is usually the fix - e.g. if you switch networks, it must be restarted). Continue means "ignore the error dialog and just go back to what you were doing".
In general, though, this is a pretty awful error dialog. There's a vast amount of not very useful text, and some totally mislabelled buttons.

Is this still a issue?

Think not, never saw such a bad dialog. In KDE 4.4 the notifactions are getting even more passive.
