I don't think leaving two clients running should pose a problem with your
mail.

Hi all,

From memory, there is a potential problem when running two kmail IMAP sessions
simultaneously if you're using the wu-imapd server: if you try updating both
at the same time, the server disconnects the second (later) connection.

The scenario for me was I had a normal (speedy) IMAP and (slow) DIMAP
configured on my desktop[*], with both set to update periodically. When they
clashed, wu-imapd would drop the IMAP connection. Kmail would recover
beautifully from this, but would notify me of the problem.

In the end, I disabled DIMAP periodic updates and just remember to do a manual
update after changing groupware information.

HTH,

Paul.

[*] - I didn't want both, but I was using groupware over IMAP, which required
DIMAP. IMAP was (and still is) much faster than DIMAP for me, so I still
wanted to keep IMAP.
