Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.2) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux I had the wrong password in mind, and korn did nothing to warn me, always showing "0" new mails. I thought korn was broken until I realized I had the password wrong a lot later.
Can't reproduce, for me Korn gives a message that it can't authenticate
Sorry but I can still reproduce with KDE 3.5.5.
There are two types of error messages which are displayed. It passive popup's are enabled, then it should show an error message in a passive popup. If not, it stays quiet and shows a mesasge on the console from where it is started. Also, the tooltip might give the information that counting the emails failed. Thanks for your report.
All reports about korn has been closed because is no more developed and mantained since KDE 4.2. Moreover the is no feedback since a lot of time. Thanks all anyway for contributing with bug reports.
