Being on SS, I have only a 10 megabit account, so big stuff takes a while. So I used fetchmail and friends to take that out of kmail's job list by doing all that in the background. And I think its creative too. kmail's composer freezes are a few milliseconds when it only pulls it from /var/mail. ;-) Thank you deloptes.
