[Kde-pim] mail checking order in kmail

Hi PIMsters,

I've found out what bugs me about the -- otherwise really useful for my 50+ 
IMAP folder mailbox -- Favourite Folder feature.

The "Check Email" and "Check email in favourite folders" buttons do not 
complement each other. Imagina I get up in the morning, at a slow internet 
connection and want to start reading my email quickly. I'd usually press Check 
Favourite folders, so I get the more important email first. Then I usually 
click "check email" (in all folder), but it synchs the favourite folders again 
... not ideal, those are my largest IMAP folders so it takes a long time.

It would be neat if the check email feature took the favourite folders into 
account, check them first and then check everything else (that way, I wouldn't 
even need the "check in favourite folders" anymore.

Since I'm unlikely to implement this myself (trust me, you don't want me to 
touch kmail's codebase :>), all I can offer is a box of cookies (or chocolate, 
or a beer, cocktail) instead for the brave one that does it. Otherwise, just 
an idea :-)

Thanks for listening.
