Thanks for your response.

In Settings=>Configure KMail=>Accounts=>Retrieval I see 3 options:

A. Include in Manual Mail Check
B. Switch offline on KMail Shutdown
C. Check mail on startup

A is enabled by default; B and C are turned off (also by default).
I'm not quite sure what effect clicking B would have.
I assume it is better to leave it off?

Thanks. I enabled the option
"Download all messages for offline use"
which I assume you are recommending.
