Kmail: downloads ALL emails

HI

since a few days I have a problem with my Kmail. Everytime I check for new messages, it downloads ALL the messages from my yahoo inbox. And as there are thousands of messages there it really makes me a problem.
It's kind of weird as I use it for about a year and it never happened before.

Any ideas what I can change?

cheers, Timo

Tools->configure Kmail->Accounts
Uncheck the checkbox for 'check new mail on startup'.
That should stop it from automatically downloading mail on startup.
