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. I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

Ok, I would still like an explicit close command if possible. If I can get away with 
using KIOJob that keeps things simple.

BFN,

BTW No response for cvs at the moment.
