Description someone 2013-03-11 10:28:45 UTC
When starting KDEPIM, resp. Kmail2 for the first time, trying to set up Mail accounts in KDEPIM, resp. Kmail2, Akonadi will start for the first time on the affected computer. 

The Start of Akonadi causes a lot of windows to pop up and close in a very short time, depending on the computing power of the affected computer. This looks like a "pop-up firework", pelting onto the user. The user thinks, that these are error messages or the like and searches for them in the taskbar. As these windows are closed already, he will not find any window open. No window in the background - nowhere. The user gets confused and does not know whether something went wrong or what.

Please avoid this behaviour.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start KDEPIM, resp Kmail2 for the 1st time
2. see a firework of windows popping into your face
3. think for a moment: maybe it is confusing?
Actual Results:  
window firework

Expected Results:  
no window firework
