Bug 169838

Version:           1.10 (using KDE 4.1.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package

The problem of kmail maximising itself when kde starts if you have selected the 'use system tray icon' option seems to have been raised in bug [73591] and it would appear that a patch has been created but that was almost a year ago and this patch certainly does not appear in the current version of kmail. I would like to see this patch applied to kmail 1.10 please as this is a really really annoying behaviour of kmail.

So now on to my real request.
I would like to request a delayed mail check on start up feature to give my wireless time to establish a connection. 

If i am using the kmail system tray, when kde first starts, kmail starts and checks for new mail. Unfortunately this usually happens before my wireless connetion has been established and so I get an error message. If I am using the system tray for kmail then it will check for new mail when kde first starts regardless of whether or not I have checked the 'check mail on start up' option and besides which, I DO want kmail to check mail on start up I just want it to give me the option of delaying it for a couple of minutes.

Thanks for all your efforts. kmail rocks.
