           Summary: KMail disconnected IMAP works badly with GMail Imap
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: alexander.egger campus02 at


Version:           1.2.4 (enterprise 20070904.708012) (using KDE 3.5.7 "release 72.2" , openSUSE 10.3)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.22.9-0.4-default

When changing a mails read property from unread to read in folder, on
the next sync with Gmail Kmail tries to mark all emails in the folder
unread and then marks all the read read again. This is bad because
marking emails takes ages in Gmail. So if you have a folder with 500
Emails it takes up to an hour to change a single email from read to
unread.
