Since I updated to KDE 4.7.0 (except for kdepim, which is 4.4.11), I am being driven crazy with popup notifcations whenever email is delivered (or sent). There are 2 different popups that are generated for each instance, and each time they are displayed, a sound is produced. I would really like to turn the popups off, but if that is not possible, then suppressing the sound alert would be better than nothing. The first popup is:

USER: The MBox file was changed by

another program. A copy of the new

file was made and pending changes

are appended to that copy. To prevent

this from happening use lockin...

where USER is my user id. There looks to be more to this message, but I can't find it. The second message is:

USER: The file

'file:///var/spool/mail/USER'

was changed on disk while there were

still pending changes in Akonadi. To

avoid data loss, a backup of the

internal changes has been crea...

Again I am unable to find the rest of this message. I had to downgrade kdepim because the mail migration failed, and kmail2 would not start. It complained about an invalid mailbox, but I created a new user with no mailbox, and it wouldn't start there either. KDE 4.7 solved some other problems I was having, so I really don't want to have to backup to what I was using before, but these popups are very distracting, and when a couple of hundred Fedora 16 update emails show up, the bottom right corner of my screen is essentially worthless until they have all been delivered. Once they came so close together they caused knotify to go into a loop.
