kmail will not check mail on startup even with the option enabled Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open kmail, enable the option to "check mail on startup". 2. Close Kmail, as well as from system tray (if enabled on system tray) 3. Open Kmail. Actual Results: Kmail does not check mail on startup. Expected Results: Kmail should be checking mail on startup.
Work fine here. I tested now. Need more infos. Which account ? etc.
I have opensuse 12.3 installed with KDE version 4.10 and I am using a gmail account. It does check every 5mins (with interval checking enabled) and it does send and recevie email but will not check upon startup, unless i use the kmail --check command-line option.

how do you enabled it in kmail settings ? could you create screenshot ?
KMail Version 4.8.5 Using KDE Development Platform 4.8.5 (4.8.5) Netrunner Same problem, "check mail on startup" in retrieval options under Configure Accounts is checked, but mail is not checked on startup. This has been going on for some time now, can't say how long. The solution for me seems to be that ALL accounts must be set to "check mail on startup". I have another account that was not set to check on startup, setting it allows check on startup.

Actually that worked fine on restarting Kmail, but I don't think it made any difference on boot this morning. I use a Wallet password, the fact that when I restarted only Kmail, Wallet had already been accessed, and when I rebooted it had not, may have a bearing on the matter.

I don't understand why not. James Sellars

I have never used the kwallet system and it still worked in previous versions of KDE, so I don't see how kwallet could be the problem. James Sellars
For me, there is a difference between Kmail being restarted within a session, and starting in a new session. If restarting within a session, mail is checked immediately. If starting in a new session, it is not. Maybe this will help point to the problem.
Same problem here, on 2 computers. KDE 4.10.x (all versions so far). On kmail start there is some kwallet message flashing quickly (can't read it); subsequent restart of kmail seems to work. My guess is kmail is not waiting for kwallet to open.
This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Not sure about KDE5, but it does check on my box (at startup) now. So, it looks like it's been fixed now.
James, thanks for reporting back.
