           Summary: refresh IMAP folder in context menu
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kmail-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: dan mojavelinux com


Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.1.0)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.1 3.2.2-3mdk)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.22-10mdk

I have seen other bugs, all of which are closed, regarding the refreshing of an IMAP folder.  In many of the reports, the reporter seemed to figure out the technique which I have been using, which is to click away and then click on the folder again.  This technique is a dirty hack.  There is no reason that an option cannot be added to the context menu entitled:

"Refresh Folder"

which sychronizes the folder with IMAP, checking for new messages.  This is NOT the same thing as interval mail checking because it is used during times when you need an instant refresh of your INBOX, such as when you are subscribing, unsubscribing from a mailinglist.  Many people prefer to have a modest interval for mail checking, such as 15 minutes, but might need to access messages sooner during certain peek periods (your boss just called and told you to respond to the email he sent).

Please consider adding this feature as it really will feel natural to a lot of IMAP users, rather than having to trick KMail into doing it by clicking away and back on the folder again.
