Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.6) Installed from: Debian stable Packages Reported in Debian BTS at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=384865 Hello, If I try to perform a slightly more complicated search (say, do regexp matching for the Subject header) over IMAP, I get the following message: "To execute your search all messages of the folder xxx have to be downloaded from the server. This may take some time. Do you want to continue your search? [ ] Do not ask again [Search] [Cancel]" Ok, this was unexpected, I do not want to wait for kmail to download all messages in all folders this time. I just hit "cancel" and expect it to stop. However, it does _not_ stop searching, it simply skips to the next folder. It asks the same question again, I hit "cancel" again, and so on. Finally, I figure out a way to kill kmail as I do not have patience to say "cancel" for all folders. Naturally, checking "do not ask again" does not help if I hit "cancel"; it simply keeps asking again. Best regards, Jukka Suomela

This is still reproducible on trunk r948809.
This happens because KMessageBox::warningContinueCancel does not saves the "do not ask me again" when cancel is used. And this warning is called in each imap folder searched that is not able to do the search in the server. I think this could be solved by: changing the use of warningContinueCancel to warningYesNo. And I guess wish #190238 should be implemented also.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report. KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2. We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
