Kmail stops receiving overnight

[Elaine Normandy]

I've noticed with my Kmail that if it has trouble fetching mail out of the pop 
server (due to flaky server or flaky network) it will hang up until I 
manually intervene.  I do this by clicking on the UP arrow at the bottom of 
the main kmail screen.  This will show the number of accounts that are hung 
up and I click the X at the end of each hung account.  Then Kmail will poll 
normally next time unless the network / server problem persists.
