That is the place where I have it modified now, in accounts/receiving, and I have it 'unchecked' so it will not do anything at 'check mail' option.

I don't have a personal module info, that must be with kontact,etc.

Yes, in 'accounts/receiving' where it has 'Local Folders', there are 3 options, and all are unchecked.

Most of the folders/subfolders have no stats for unread mail/total mail. Is that the 'Update Folder' option ?
