           Summary: Make Akonadi error dialogs PASSIVE
           Product: kmail2
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kde at privat.broulik.de


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

I don’t know who thought it was a good idea to have error messages that are
triggered by background services are (modal) message boxes.
Whenever there is an error with something and even if it is just a temporary
thing, you will get a message box. Luckily we have KWin’s focus stealing
prevention.
Make *all* those nasty warning, error, whatever dialogs passive notifications
that appear in systray and that you can deal with or leave them.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Do something that triggers an error, for example turn off network and fetch
e-mails or enter a wrong password

Actual Results:  
An annoying message box appears stating that something went wrong

Expected Results:  
A passive popup notification appears stating that something went wrong but that
does not force you to deal with it (by closing it or whatever)
