Concurrent POP3 mail fetching on KMail (1.9.7)

Hi all!

I'm Kmail (v 1.9.7) user. I have several email accounts provided by same ISP, and POP server does not allow more than three concurrent connections from a host, so, fetching new mail on startup (or checking mail) in Kmail tries to open a connection for each email account at the same time, getting a connection refused error when POP connection limit is reached.

I was unable to change this behavior from settings, so if somebody knows how to limit the number of concurrent connections to POP servers on global email fetching, pls, notice me.

Thank's
Adam

I'm not sure if this will help at all, but you could try using POPFile from popfile.sourceforge.net. It is a POP3 proxy, and I believe that it will work linearly. Their FAQ at least alludes to it.

Alternatively, you can disable the account checks on startup, and set up kmail to check each account at different intervals, but I don't think that is exactly what you are looking for.
