Hmmm, guess thats related to the fact that "Configure KMail" has vanished from 
my mainwindow menus, since I accidently started KMail HEAD?
Copying the original kmmainwin.rc file did not help.  Any hints?

agreed.  I'll have a look at the profiles....

no, for sure not.

Unless we define a struct to hold the parameters only used in 
KMAcctExpPop::startJob, this would make it cleaner, but I don't know if I 
should like the approach.

I've started to implement a offline mode in KMail from the 3_1_branch, 
therefore I have added offlineMode and setOfflineMode to KMKernel (I am not 
quite sure if this should go into the kernel or into KMAcctMgr...  Any 
hints?)
