                    asking the mail password

Hi,

   I'm not sure if this is a bug or just a whilst, so I sorry if I've chosen the bad option.

   I've configured kmail in order to periodically test for new mails. But I don't like the "save password" feature, so I write my password each time I open kmail.

   On the other hand, I've associated email files to "kmail --view" so when I click on a file previously saved with kmail I can see it.
   If kmail is not launched, when i open a saved mail the "kmail --view" opens correctly, and shows the mail. The strange point is that periodically a dialog box appears asking for my password in the mail account configured in kmail.
   I find this quite confusing because kmail is not launched (at least "visually", because i'm only seing a mail window). In fact, I _can't_ see the rest of my mails, or write a new one. The main window of kmail is not visible, so it's quite strange that passwords were asked, because I would be able to read them!

   Thank you very much,
       Pedro Pablo
