           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. _______________________________________________
