Description peppelorum 2006-12-03 10:29:18 UTC

Version:           1.9.5 (using KDE 3.5.5, Debian Package 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-5 (4.0))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15.6

Some odd dialogs appeared to me today. Using Kmail and DIMAP. Don't know how to reproduce cause this only appeared to me once.
The thing is that I have no idea what "Continue" and "Cancel" is gonna do, is it gonna try to create the mailbox or delete it or something else?

From ImapAccountBase::handleError it looks like all jobs are killed on Cancel.
The problem is that it's unclear the buttons apply to _all_ jobs.
My first thought was "so on Cancel it cancels, and on Continue it continues towards the immediate end, which is the same thing".
One solution (certainly suboptimal) would be to rename the buttons to "Continue with the other jobs" and "Cancel the other jobs".

Think these funny dialogs are mostly cleaned away in KDE 4.3 and will continue vanishing in 4.4. Please report if you see that differently.
