In the past few days after a KDE update immediately after KDE login starts from the KDM login greet screen. I get a small mail notification popup window before the normal KDE login completes immediately after entering the login password in KDM. The popup says either "You have old mail" or "You have new mail" and the login will only continue if the "Ok" button on the popup is clicked. This has never happened before and I cannot find any setting which switches this off. The remainder of the KDE login does not continue unless the "Ok" is accepted. Presumably this is a new bug that has emerged but I would like any help in getting rid of it - if anyone knows a workaround until a proper fix is available in an updated kde package - though I don't know which package is the culprit. Any help appreciated. Thanks. -- mike c
