while I hate it when the composer is frozen while typing a reply, but
kmail thinks its time to access my isp's mail server, locking up the

megabit account, so big stuff takes a while. So I used fetchmail and
friends to take that out of kmail's job list by doing all that in the
background. And I think its creative too. kmail's composer freezes are
a few milliseconds when it only pulls it from /var/mail. ;-)
Thank you deloptes.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

Thanks again deloptes, I do believe that was it.
Does the handbook
mention this? Theres a fairly long list that I've not collated over
the last 20 years. Most glaring is its inability to go get new mail
in the background, which caused me to offload that to
fetchmail-procmail and a chain of spam and viri catchers. All
synchronized by inotifywait. I used to yell at Ingo K. over some of
the more glaring ones till I figured our he was attempting to herd
cats. And wasn't that good at it. ;-)
Glad to could have helped. I was going through the translations of
TDEPIM and saw the string - connected this string to your issue, I
thought this is it and located it in the config menu.
I use KMail as primary mail client at home. I use it in Kontact. I
have my old mail from university time in a maildir. Everything else is
an IMAP. I think your process is complicated perhaps because of
historic reasons and could be simplified. But this is my opinion. I
like simple and clean solutions, because they are truly genius.
