Hi,
I have a problem on my link that sometimes the connection to my POP server seems to fail at about 90% of download. Not  a big deal, unless a family member has sent me some massive forward, in which case all other messages get stuck behind it.

I realise I can get around this with a POP filter that leaves large messages till later - but it then requires manual intervention to fetch those later (in the form of the confirm dialogue).

It would be great if I could create a filter that handles this automatically without intervention.
The way I imagine this would work is to have a fourth option for the POP filter which would be - download message last.
If a message matches this filter, KMail does not initially download that message - once all other messages have been downloaded, then KMail fetches those that have been marked for later.

In this way I can read all the important mail, and it doesn't matter how many times KMail has to retry to retrieve the dozen photo's of cute pupies that one of my relatives has forwarded to me.

Cheers for an otherwise great mail client.

I know it is not an exact duplicate - but I think it is the more user friendly way of fullfilling your wish
