Kmail should have an option to not show a broken connection dialog

[Alex Midgley]

Binary package hint: kdepim

When an IMAP connection breaks or a kio_imap process dies, kmail shows an error dialog. There should be an option to disable this dialog, because the error is generally not important enough to interrupt the user. I'm using Kubuntu 8.10.

Thanks for reporting this. It isn't a bug as such but a request for a new feature, or at least a change in behaviour. That's really something that needs to be addressed upstream by the KDEPIM developers. It may be that it behaves that way for a good reason and that's a decision for KDE not Kubuntu.

The best thing to do would be file this as a wish on bugs.kde.org and link it here so we can track the outcome.

Hi Alex!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
