Description Hans-Peter Jansen 2013-02-13 10:48:26 UTC

When checking mails automatically, say every 30 minutes, and the user does an manual check during that period, kmail should reset the timer to the manual check timestamp. 

Obviously, it does not ATM. Given huge imap mailboxes and the immense time, a check can take due to deficits in IMAP protocol and friends (not talking about akonadi this time), an automatic check chiming in just minutes after a manual check is a real PITA.

Even more appealing would be a new timer option to check only, if kmail is idle for a certain time (no message change events since that time)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set automatic mail checking every 30 minutes
2. wait 25 minutes, trigger manual check
3. see, that the automatic check happens during the next 5 minutes

That’s a good idea methinks. Perhaps if you change the summary to a more descriptive „Reset automatic mail check timer after manual sync“, it will get more attention.

I will look at it soon.
Indeed we need to reset it.

That would be really fantastic, Laurent.
