I happened to have a log window open this morning as I established an internet connection with kinternet. To my surprise, I see fetchmail messages scrolling by almost immediately, with a poll.tcpip prefix on them. It did not fetch from all my accounts, only the two that I had set up while experimenting with kmail the other day. I did not ask for this automatic service, and I don't want it! I prefer to be fully in control of my limited bandwidth utilization, and issue the fetchmail command manually. Is there a way to define an ISP account to Kmail, and defer the actual fetching of the mail until I click the 'get mail' button? Or do I have to totally give up on Kmail, and continue to use pine? BTW - I think it's pretty lame and totally non-intuitive to have to go to YAST2 to define an ISP account for Kmail. YAST is a system administration tool, and ISP acounts are a personal, end-user preference.
