Which would be nice indeed. DSL is acting a little instable here sometimes.

So I created a new account (when I found out there is no option to set
in the existing account), there I can select 'Disconnected IMAP'. I
never noticed this account type before, is it new?
A little glitch was that suddenly (maybe after the update to 4.6.3?)
KMail is no longer able to access the wallet for new passwords. It can
retrieve the existing ones so I have not noticed this yet, but new
accounts cannot store their password in the wallet.
Downloading messages... whoops, KMail does not like when the partition
gets full :) But no harm was done, KMail threw some error messages and
exited cleanly.
Okay, it seems to work, thanks for the pointer! Now let's see if I also
have trouble with new mails that are not shown.
