           Summary: KMail does not properly notify connection errors
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.13.5
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mprizee at laposte.net


Version:           1.13.5 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

KMail says, even if it is not true, "Transmission terminated for account ***.
No new message" when retrieving mails from POP/IMAP accounts.

Moreover, KMail shows an error with my GMail account : "Unable to retrieve
informations from [GMail] folder. Server said : Invalid folder: [Gmail]
(Failure)" (translated from French : "Erreur lors de la réception des
informations du dossier. Impossible d'obtenir des informations sur le dossier
[Gmail]. Le serveur a répondu : Invalid folder: [Gmail] (Failure)"), GMail
being a virtual folder with specials folders (sent, draft, all messages,
spam...).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to add a fake account, with a bad server (pop.sfrgsdfgdsgdfg.com) and
login/pass.

Actual Results:  
KMail will only says there are no new messages !

Expected Results:  
Error message, "the server *** is not valid !" ("didn't respond" ?)

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.34-ARCH
Compiler: gcc
KDE 4.4.5
