I have 6 mailboxes and it is really very annoying when my network connection goes \
down (or I disconnect intentionally) and, once kmail checks for the mail \
automatically, 6 (!) error message boxes opened up stating it couldn't find the host. \
To make matters worse, it's really a challenge to close them. They are all modal, so \
they must be closed in the order they popped up. However, usually the focused one \
won't close, because it is not the right one. I have to continually switch with \
ALT+TAB to find the right message box to close. Sometimes this takes even over a \
minute. This is a huge usability problem.

As evident by my experience, message boxes ARE NOT the correct way to announce errors \
for the mail program (especially for the automatic actions). I always run kmail in \
the background, so I don't care if a few automatic operations fail. In such case, the \
errors should be reported passively (eg. in the error log at the bottom of the window \
or smth) but not actively (like it is now: popping up a message box (and even \
multiple ones) and drawing my attention). Please solve this problem. At least prevent \
multiple message boxes from opening up. \
