Description Volkmar Wörner 2009-05-30 12:38:53 UTC 
Version:           1.11.2 (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I've got a couple of (dimap/imap) mailaccounts, which should be checked on kmail startup, but sometimes at the time of kmail start (which is the time of KDE start) I don't have a network connection (yet). When kmail then tries to connect to the mailservers, I get a messagebox for each failed connection. kmail should either wait for an active network connection or display errors as passive popups (or both).
