           Summary: "laptop-dialup-mode" for easy and fast imap downloads
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: p.heinlein at heinlein-support.de


Version:            (using KDE 4.0.5)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Having huge IMAP-accounts it takes long time to go through alle IMAP-folders to
check for new mail.

It would be very helpful to have a "laptop-mode" in kmail where just the INBOX
is checked to make the IMAP-download faster and to save (expensive)
UMTS-dialup-traffic.

Alternatively just a list of specially selected folders are checked. This has
nothing to to with IMAP-subscriptions, because existing IMAP-folders should
still exist.

But even on my desktop is checking all that IMAP-folders again and again very
annoying. New mails in IMAP-Subfolders could exist, but they are very seldom.
Instead I want to check my INBOX very fast and often, but I have so many
IMAP-folders that it takes always round about >15 minutes to go through all of
them.

It would be helpful to check INBOX (or INBOX + selected folders) every <n>
minutes very often and all other folders every <m> minutes/hours very seldom
just to keep them in sync. KMAIL should have *TWO* different configuration
options how often a IMAP-download should start.

Folders with local changes should always be included in the next check to get
the server in sync with them as fast as possible.
