Description R Muench 2012-03-31 08:39:27 UTC

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/535.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu/11.10 Chromium/17.0.963.79 Chrome/17.0.963.79 Safari/535.11
Build Identifier: 

I can not cause Kmail2 to check for new mails on startup:
The related checkbox (as in older versions) is missing in the folders section
The option "kmail --check" basically works. But I found no way to bring this otion to work due to the fact, that I use the kontact plugin.
(I've tried to use the module option - it does not work neither)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. N A

there is option in menu in configure->account.
You can select "check new mails at startup"

Sorry it is there - the popup menue shows up, when you right klick the folder icon in the account area. May be a menuetext is missing in the german translation. (see attachment to comment 2):
"Retrieval Options" <> "Empfangsoptionen"

I don't understand. You don't have menu entry ?

Screenshot of a config menue

Please find enclose a screenshot for clarification.
Don't know -  is it a feature or is the menue text missing in the german version?
The english version of the handbook tells about a "Retrieval Option". Is that a menue or only the reference to the very very small arrow icon in the push buttons near the left border of the frame
Please keep in mind: The problem itself is solved.
