Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: SuSE RPMs I have currently 6 email accounts and I cannot to get to them via KMail. The problem is that KMail tries to download mail from all of them at once and I get error "cannot connect to host xyz". But when I connect manually one by one to them, there is no problem. Please, either do not download mail at once from all accounts by default, or provide option to control this.
I do not have such problems when one host is unavailable. Fixing such bug with yet another option does not seem the way to go. Instead, I'll turn this into a bug report. It still should download all other accounts.
Bram, > I do not have such problems when one host is unavailable. All of them are available -- well, I guess I didn't say it right. This -- "check mail in" 1 -> ... 2 -> ... 3 -> ... 4 -> ... 5 -> ... 6 -> ... does not work too well because my connection is jammed my 6 requests. All hosts are technically available but since KMail tries to get from them at once they block each other. So I suggest this 1 -> ... finish, 2 -> ... finish, 3 -> ... etc. As you can see 2 starts when 1 finishes, 3 starts when 2 finishes, etc. There is no blocking.
Try to add the following to your kmailrc (in .kde/share/config) : [Network] MaxConnectionsPerHost=1 If that works, I guess this can be transformed into a wish again (adding this hidden config option to the GUI)
Thomas, thank you. However I cannot test it fully because now I have faster connection :-)
>Thomas, thank you. However I cannot test it fully because now I have faster connection :-) It was confirmed in another bug report, so I'll change this to a wish.
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.
