           Summary: Disconnected IMAP gets periodically synced even though
                    automatic syncing is disabled
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 2.1.1
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jmdavisProg at gmx.com


Version:           2.1.1 (using KDE 4.6.4) 
OS:                Linux

I have an e-mail account which is set up for disconnected IMAP. In the
configuration for that e-mail account, I have the checkbox for "Enable interval
mail checking" disabled. So, kmail should _never_ try and fetch new messages
unless I manually tell it to check the mail for that account.

However, kmail _still_ periodically syncs the account. I do _not_ want it to
_ever_ sync without my telling it to do so manually. And since I have set up
the account for disconnected IMAP, and I disabled interval mail checking, it
should never sync without my manually telling to do so. But it is. This needs
to be fixed. It is a _major_ downgrade from kmail 1 to have kmail 2 syncing my
e-mail when I didn't manually tell it to do so.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Have an IMAP account in kmail. In its settings, select "Enable disconnected
mode" and unselect "Enable interval mail checking."

Actual Results:  
Periodically, kmail syncs the e-mail account with the server and new e-mails
appear in kmail.

Expected Results:  
Kmail _never_ syncs the e-mail account with the server unless you manually tell
it to by using the "Check Mail" button or menu uption for that account.
