KMail quite often tries to display several Error Messages at once. When trying to close the boxes KMail often (50/50) crashes.

But even without a crash this leads to serious usability problems.

i.E. Leave KMail unattended without a network connection, come back and find dozens of message boxes telling you that connection to server X was not possible.

I said this before: For those with dial up connetions it would be nice if we could swith off reporting of network errors completely.

As a hint: In my last project I used one single Error Box with history function for the whole program. If several errors happend faster then the user could commit them the message where only added to the histroy and the box was given focus. The box did not have the "on top of all other" flag set.

Completely eliminated all race conditions within error handling.
