I am very glad you do!

There is one more thing that I am experiencing with kmail. It is nothing major 
but annoying at times and it may very well be a distro dependent issue. I 
have a disconnected IMAP account, which has a server name different than the 
security certificate that the site has. Kmail pops up a warning dialog 
whether I want to continue or see details of the conflict, which is fine. 
When I select continue, there comes another dialog asking me if the 
confirmation to continue was for once or for always. Although I click always, 
this security check happens again the same way perhaps every other or so 
authentication. Not everytime, but in a rather random fashion. If this is an 
extra security feature, meaning that even though the user selects always, the 
confirmation is set to be asked every nth authentication, I can see the 
purpose for that, but even so, there should be some notification of the user 
about this extra security feature. If this is a bug, rather than an extra 
security feature, then is there a way for me to edit the config file or 
something like that to disable that?

Thanks,

Hakan
