I see.

Evolution working and KMail not working would suggest this.

I can't/won't rule out the possibility of this. But suspect it's due 
to erroneous behavior of hotpop. Hotpop appears to be very slow. I 
tested to see if Hotpop had a buggy DELE implementation but couldn't 
see any obvious bugs.

Ok good thing to test.

Unfortunately due to a lack of time and that hotpop looks a bit shaky 
I'm not able to rationalize spending more time looking into. There 
are just too many other critical bug reports that I think are more 
likely to be due to bugs in KMail than this one.

At least there is some info here if some one else has more time. I 
guess the next step would be to independently verify that the bug 
exists by using a hotpop account for a reasonable period of time. 
Another useful task might be to try to work out how to reproduce the 
bug at will.

Don.
