Description: Little more than a modification to the basic mails.pl that ships with Karamba, so that the theme generates output (in the form of an icon and a kdialog box) when it cannot connect to the pop-server.
While the driving factor behind the theme and changes to the script are outlined in the README, I felt, likewise, that the full power of even the basic Karamba was not being used and wanted to see if I could get more functionality out of it; to a small extent, I think I made some success.Last changelog:
Modified newMail.pl so that it warns that a connection could not be established, but still gives the user the option of opening Kmail anyway.
The only way by which I could think to do this was by having newMail.pl call a little 3 line openMail.pl which reads the output from a kdialog box. If there is an easier way, I would appreciate knowing about it.

Are you going to add support for IMAP and IMAPS protocols? I was trying to find some modules but py python and perl leaves a lot to wish ;)
there's a library for IMAP built right into Python. Here's the URL for the docs on it. http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-imaplib.html
