           Summary: Interval mail checking should start timing after
                    checking mail
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.9.5
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: frank fthieme net


Version:           1.9.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

I use kmail with dimap and lot of folders. As kmail still doesn't support IMAP IDLE I set an interval for mail checking to 5 minutes. Now kmail checks every 5 minutes for new mail. 

In some rare cases kmail starts a new mail download cycle right after finishing the old one because the first cycle took 5 minutes and longer.

I suggest kmail should start with the countdown after the download cycle has finished. I think every other email client does so..
