You see ... this is more than just a small question ... I do not want to even 
be able to use my email if my IMAP server is unavailable.  It must be same as 
when a SMTP server or Sendmail is not available.  I do not want to be able to 
do anything mail related unless we make a feature whereby you can still read 
your email you have cached locally if you cannot reach the server or somthing 
like that.  But, I do not even want that functionality.  I can understand 
that other people might want it though.  

To that extent, I would propose that KMail could start up in one of two ways: 
1. if you DO have local mail folders ORf you have this caching enabled it 
will start up even if the IMAP server is unavailable (Although you cannot 
send email, or check for email if KMail does not have the local folders 
enabled.  
2.  if you DO NOT have local folders or caching enabled KMail will tell you 
that your KMail server is unavailable, display a more detailed error message 
upon request, tell the users to see his/her Admin or fix the problem, and 
EXIT.  

Does any of this make sense ?

Thanks for the info ;-) Is he also active on this list ?    If so, Carsten, do 
have small summary of what you are doing?

Thanks once again.
