I must of missed that, but ok, I'll look into that. I have no idea how using the pop3 slave directly will help me with progress controls, I think I have all the info I need anyway. Maybe custom kioslave control will be useful for IMAP or something. It's the built in support for progress controls (that I thought was advertised as being useful in mail clients) that confuses me, I don't know how it can be exploited.

If I can get away with using KIOJob that keeps things simple. BFN, Don. BTW No response for cvs at the moment. ping zeus.informatik.mu-luebeck.de zeus.informatik.mu-luebeck.de is alive Then again it seems to have a tendency to sleep at this time of day (night).
