Version: (using KDE KDE 3.1.2) Installed from: Unspecified When an IMAP server is not reacheable, kmail pops up a notification message. Since this happens frequently in my environment (and partly by intention), these messages can be very annoying, especially as they push themselves in the foreground. I suggest a checkbox in the preferences dialog to enable/disable these messages, maybe separately for each imap server.
Subject: Re: New: disable notification messages when IMAP server not reacheable I wanted to make the type of notification configurable. As I'm using an unreliable IMAP server myself I wrote the attached hack which replaces the annoying popup dialog with a much less annoying passive popup. If you compile KMail yourself you might want to apply this patch. Else you will have to wait for KDE 3.2. Created an attachment (id=1787) use_knotify_to_display_imap_errors.diff
Replaced rhillen@tiscali.de with felder@path.berkeley.edu due to bounces by reporter
It makes sense to implement this. A user can have multiple account out of which some account will be requiring a vpn connection. Not having this option means that the user is required to be connected to vpn while using kmail to avoid these annoying popup dialogs. I'd request for a notifier in the bottom pane of kmail where the last connect message is displayed.
Hi, Please. Can this be fixed with the 4.1 release ?
How do I close it as a duplicate ? This issue is already fixed in #39097
