Same problem here. A way around it is to e.g. ping your mail server (or just the internet) to start up the connection. In that case there is no need to restart kmail.
if that's really the solution for you guys, I have just written a little script that I start as Precommand for the first pop-server in the list: <start of script> #!/bin/sh # # little script to trigger a dialup # # (c) 2002 by Johannes Liedtke (mail@liedtkeweb.de) # a=1 until [ $a = 0 ] do ping -c 1 -w 30 www.liedtkeweb.de a=$? done <end of script> it'll send out a single ping each 30 seconds and stops as soon as one got through... thus resulting in taking up no time when a connection is already there and letting kmail start checking for mail only when the connection is up... works great so far... (been using it to trigger diald on my server) Hansen
