Description Corrin Lakeland 2004-07-15 05:51:35 UTC

Version:           1.6.82 (using KDE 3.2.90 (3.3 alpha1, CVS >= 20040522), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 20031022 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.2-1)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.22-1.2149.nptl

normal IMAP has an option to skip check on a particular folder -- this is really useful if you archive old mail so have hundreds of old folders.  Disconnected imap is significantly slower at performing checks than normal IMAP, but does not have this option which can lead to a regular mail check taking several minutes!  It would be good if this option were also available for dimap

This problem is worse in 1.9. My interval mail checks now take about 5 minutes with the mail server on the LAN! I used to have the mail check interval set to 5 minutes, and when I upgraded to version 1.9 it checked for mail almost continuously. 

I have had to reduce the mail check interval, and now I am less responsive to mail messages. I guess I need to swap back to imap rather than cachedimap.

This appears to be the only significant flaw in what I regards as the words best email client.

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
