Description Peter Reinhart 2004-09-15 12:00:04 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.3.0)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

I don't know if this can be fixed within Kmail or if this should be a general KDE enhancement proposal:

Having configured four incoming e-mail accounts, I have a hard time when my Internet connection somehow fails. In about two seconds, four error windows pop up, saying that they can't connect to their according servers.

Now, the problem is that often times, the error window that needs to be closed first is hidden behind the other three windows. It takes a few seconds to move away the other three windows to close the first one (and so on...).

Therefore, I suggest to either implement a mechanism to more conveniantly arrange these windows (the one to be confirmed first at the top etc.) or to "collect" multiple error messages in a single window (like Outlook does from what I know).

I would like to add that kontact opens multiple message boxes even for the _same_ error message. So if a single server is unreachable for an extended period of time, the screen can fill with _dozens_ of message boxes. I would therefore suggest aggregating error messages, instead of simply arranging them differently.
