Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources OS: Linux It wold be nice if I could tell kmail only to do interval mail check when it is idle. Because imap new mail check takes a long time, and I have interval mail check activated, when using IMAP, oftten I have to wait when entering in a folder, until the new mail check is done. and that can take as long as 30-40s, witch is very upsetting. So how about a check box near the interval new mail check, to specify that the interval mail check should be done only when kmail is idle. Idle time should be counted since the last network action occured in kmail ...

I don't understand the rational. If the mailcheck starts because kmail is idle and then you click on the folder you get the same behaviour. Apart from the fact that it is hard to define "idle" as we keep the connection open with idle-commands...
I don't want kmail checking for new mail while I'm working with it. I usualy work with kmail for a while, after that I leave kmail untouched for a period. That period I wold like it to check for new mail. That because I like to have all the recent mail available, and I dont have to wait while a mail check is done. That idle could be calculated using something like folderjobs, or counting the ide-commands sent one after another .
a nice solution to this problem would be to implement idle imap: if idle imap were implemented, new mails would be notified instantly, instead of taking a long time polling in each folder...

You can use DCOP signals to let the ioslave notify apps about something.
