Hi,

Yes, that's how it works. After Kmail gets the last email, it isn't until this 
very moment that it will start deleting messages.  That's the reason you 
sometimes see the status bar showing 100% staying there...it's deleting every 
message one by one (pop3 command:  dele 1,  dele 2, dele 3 ...etc).

Tip:  Don't hit cancel while you're downloading email :)

HTH,
Jorge
