            Bug ID: 367443
           Summary: Stop new mail notifications after closing KMail
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.14.10
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: psychonaut at nothingisreal.com

I have a number of local and IMAP e-mail accounts configured in KMail2.  As
expected, when KMail2 is running, I get notifications about new mail in these
folders.  I like these notifications!  However, what seems to be missing is any
obvious way of temporarily disabling them.

Back with KMail1, if I closed the mail client, I would stop getting new mail
notifications.  But with KMail2, closing the program doesn't disable mail
checking.  Akonadi continues to monitor local and remote IMAP folders and to
notify me of new mail.  In many situations these notifications are unwanted
(say, if I'm using my computer to give a public presentation and don't want the
audience to see all my incoming mail headers, or if I'm just concentrating on
some work and don't want to be bothered with pop-ups for a while).

I'm not sure if this is a problem with KMail or with Akonadi.  Perhaps when
KMail starts up and shuts down, it could also tell Akonadi to start and stop
issuing mail notifications?

Reproducible: Always
