I have a similar issue - I use IMAP over SSL to my server which is on a
dynamic IP address, so every time kmail starts, it asks if I want to accept
a certificate. If I wait too long to say OK, I get "the process ... died
unexpectedly" error. I have 4 accounts, only one of which is configured to
check mail on startup, but I get the message for all 4.
In addition, the one that checks on startup is configured to check every 5
minutes. If I wait past the first check to say ok, refreshing that account
doesn't work and I need to close kmail and restart it to get a connection.
