           Summary: no error messages and dialogs
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.13.5
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: pop3
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: sergio at sergiomb.no-ip.org


Version:           1.13.5 (using KDE 4.5.3) 
OS:                Linux

Since kde 4.x 
when I should have a "authentication fail" for example , kmail says "no new
messages".
When I was waiting for an email, I ask to my mates if email has
stop and after nobody had problems , I realize that I had change
password doesn't restart kmail and kmail should giving "authentication
fail", instead "no new messages" . 
I test it with kde 4.5.3 on Fedora 14. 

I wonder if we have some option , to enable or disable this feature (of silence
connections errors).

This problem, can also make more difficult setup an account since no errors
happen.  

Thanks,

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
create an pop3 account 
choose a non existing server .


Actual Results:  
no errors, just write in status bar : "no new messages"


Expected Results:  
pop-up an error , with connection fail  or authentication fail or some useful
information , instead silent "no new messages"


this begins to happen in middle of kde 4.4 , i don't know when on in final kde
4.3
