Well, I've got 20Mbit broadband here so the connection is unlikely to be congested enough to cause kmail to time-out. It is possible however that there is a concurrency issue that might be solved by restricting kmail to only connect to a maximum of n connections at once rather than attempting to connect to them all simultaneously. I did try setting a "pre command" of sleep 1, but that just got run right before all of the connections fired off - I was kind of hoping that I could set a pre-command for each account, but it seems that the all of the pre-commands are run right at the start of a manual "check mail in". Is that how that particular functionality was designed to work?

Just as I write this I'm wondering if serially running the "check mail in" for a maximum of n concurrent multiple (when there are multiple) accounts might work better than connecting to all in parallel.

Manually checking the 14 (in my case) POP3 accounts one-by-one would be less than ideal.
