KDE Frameworks Version: 5.112.0
QT Version: 5.15.11

Thunderbird and Mailspring do this this OOTB, while Geary has an option to do so. It is only fitting that Kmail gets this option so that users of Kmail can be able reply in time to their emails.

Hi,
We already it from ~14 years no ?
=>Settings menu > Configure Kmail > Accounts > Identities > Receiving-> => there is a popup menu 
=> you can stop or not account when we close kmail.

Do you need more settings ?

Regards

What I mean is that kmail should immediately notify you when there is a new email.

Yep we don't store resource
=> when we have new mail for example in imap it will show a notification.

Same for pop3 when we define "check at x minutes" etc.
