At least I several times tested how interrupting mail retrieving with the=

cancel button works and never revieved a partially downloaded message. It=
=20
always worked correctely. However my mails usually don't exceed 5KB per m=
ail.=20
Maybe that is the reason, why that didn't happen to me.

Ok, I just sent myself a 700 KB message. After downloading 300 KB I=20
interrupted the connection. I didn't get the mail, not even a part of the=
=20
mail and on the next attempt KMail downloaded it again.
It tried the same with killing the slave after 300 KB. Exactely the same=20
correct behaviour.

Then I tried both things again with your patch applied and there was no=20
difference.
Also with several message on the server I could see no difference.

=46rom the point of view of the code your patch looks correct, but it cou=
