Description Dima Ryazanov 2008-01-16 07:08:46 UTC 
Version:           1.9.7 (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 (Gentoo 4.1.2) 
OS:                Linux

I tried to disable one of my pop3 accounts by disabling "interval mail checking" and "manual mail check". But instead, KMail started checking mail for that account in an infinite loop, without pauses! Clicking "x" in the progress dialog in bottom right didn't help - KMail would just keep opening new connections. Only after I restarted Kontact it stopped.

Later, I "disabled" another account - and got the same behavior.
