           Summary: After quit of K-Mail there is still network traffic
                    created by polling the accounts
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.7
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: tom_p at gmx.de


Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

This issue had been already existed in previous versions, but my feeling is,
its now much worse with Kmail 4.7.2 (With the upgrade of Ubuntu 11.04 ->
11.10).

When Kmail is quit, it should also stop polling the different E-Mail accounts. 

This is especially ugly, if you start a VPN-session (e.g. to your company email
server), start Kmail, work on E-Mails, having done everything, shut down Kmail,
close the VPN... and then still stuff is running. 

In the process list I see many entries like akonaidi_pop3_resource.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Start Kmail, poll the accounts, quit Kmail. (and look on tcpdump)


Expected Results:  
No traffic (after a short time... 10 secs ?) anymore after Kmail is closed.
