This is one mode of operation, using an IMAP extension called IDLE. KMail's current IMAP implementation doesn't handle this mode yet, so it has to actively check for new mails. > Any details or pointers to where implementation of IMAP and Disconnected > IMAP in KMail can be found will be appreciated. If you are interested in implementation details, it might be better to ask on the developer mailinglist [email protected] AFAIK it is implemented by delegating protocol stuff to an IMAP kioslave. The next generation implementation (which might become available with KDE SC 4.5) uses a different approach (new IMAP library) and can be found in SVN in kdepim/runtime/resources/imap Cheers, Kevin -- Kevin Krammer, KDE developer, xdg-utils developer KDE user support, developer mentoring _______________________________________________ KDE PIM users mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-users
