My ISP, let's say <ISPa>, gives me an e-mail <account@ISPa> I can access this account via IMAP only when connected via an ADSL access provided by <ISPa>. When I connect to internet via other ISP, the imap service to <account@ISPa> is non available. This is by contract with <ISPa>. I've set up kmail to use IMAP to get mail sent to <account@ISPa>. Whenever I connect to internet via other ISP provider, I'm flooded by multiple pop-ups/second saying: "Il server dell'account «Libero.it Carlo Imap» ha rifiutato il nome utente e la password forniti. Vuoi modificare le impostazioni, riprovare nuovamente ad accedere, o non fare nulla? Login failed, server replied: A000002 NO IMAP4 access not allowed " At this point I can just disconnect the PC from the network to have kmail to stop generating popus in a few seconds. To be connected to intenet without being flooded by popus and without stopping Akonady, I just have to setup kontact to work off-line and then I can reconnect the PC to the network. I already tried to setup the IMAP account to not start checking e-mails at startup, and also disabled the option to auto check e-mails. But: 1-every time I access the configuration for this IMAP account, if I'm connected I start to be flooded by the aforementioned popus 2- the settings have no effect, even if I restart Akonadi and kontact So: when connected via other ISPs, I can't use kontact (kmail) to check any of my account's emails because kmail has to be setup to work offline if I don't want to be flooded by popus. The work-around is to change the TCP port of the IMAP server before connecting from other ISPs, and then change it back when I connect from <ISPa>. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Connect to internet form ISP different from <ISPa> 2. start-up kontact (kmail) or simply akonadi Actual Results: Flooded by the aforementioned pop-us. Expected Results: Not open further pop-ups if one is still open. The pop-up should give the option to suspend checking <account@IPSa> so no further popus are shown. If the user doesn't realize that he can stop pop-us by physically disconnecting the network connection, the computer becomes unusable due to the amount of resources taken by the popups and the user need to reset the system, loosing unsaved data.
