            Bug ID: 316522
           Summary: lots of windows popping up during setup and start of
                    Akonadi
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.10.1
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: UI
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: herrfleisch at googlemail.com

When starting KDEPIM, resp. Kmail2 for the first time, trying to set up Mail
accounts in KDEPIM, resp. Kmail2, Akonadi will start for the first time on the
affected computer. 

The Start of Akonadi causes a lot of windows to pop up and close in a very
short time, depending on the computing power of the affected computer. This
looks like a "pop-up firework", pelting onto the user. The user thinks, that
these are error messages or the like and searches for them in the taskbar. As
these windows are closed already, he will not find any window open. No window
in the background - nowhere. The user gets confused and does not know whether
something went wrong or what.

Please avoid this behaviour.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start KDEPIM, resp Kmail2 for the 1st time
2. see a firework of windows popping into your face
3. think for a moment: maybe it is confusing?
Actual Results:  
window firework

Expected Results:  
no window firework
