I've got my settings still at automatically synchronizing but upped the interval a bit. I want the
automatic sync since using KMail for GMail was triggered by my wish to get rid of the GMail Notifier
in my browser (too invasive).
And now KMail isn't synchronizing all the time anymore (combined with changes described below).

Not only have I now excluded "All Mail", but also Bin, Starred and all the folders you see which are
labels on GMail. Synchronization seems to go a lot smoother/faster now :)
And I guess it's time I'd go over my mails and start using the archive feature instead of leaving
everything in my inbox.
Before starting with KMail I didn't even know disconnected IMAP existed, but I'm reading up on it.
Does disconnected IMAP synchronize quicker then 'online' IMAP

On the File menu there's an item "Refresh Local IMAP Cache", I've done that (twice) but that
particular msg hasn't appeared (yet?).
