Description Richard Hartmann 2006-11-04 12:46:08 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

When an IMAP account ceases to exist, KMail will tell you every 5 to 8 seconds about this fact, stealing focus and blocking all activity in underlying KMail windows. After you confirm, it will ask for the correct user data for the non-existant account.

This will also happen after you disable all mail checking for this account.

It is nice of KMail to let me know, but it does not help to tell me so often and indefinately. At the least, it should give you a grace period of 15 minutes, possibly more.

Also, there should be an option to hibernate receiving accounts without having to delete them. In my case, i only needed to switch to a redirect for a bit and then back to mailbox.

I could not test this on KDE 4, yet. I will do so as soon as 4.1 is available.
Comment 2 Richard Hartmann 2008-02-16 03:38:31 UTC 
Can I assume this is handled by the new message stack thingie for KDE PIM 4.1?
Comment 3 Björn Ruberg 2009-12-30 23:38:24 UTC 
Never had that problem in KDE 4. Please report if you have.
Comment 4 Richard Hartmann 2010-01-05 09:15:35 UTC 
I will try it tomorrow.
