"No emails" dialog at startup

Tue Oct 23, 2012 6:49 am
Hi guys,

since a while (maybe last upgrade, but i'm not sure because i don't reboot often) i get a kdialog when i login into my kde session saying that i have no emails. i guess it's talking about system mails. how can i disable it?

Thanks for reply.
i actually can't take a snapshot (even if i press "stamp" key) i have nothing in the clipboard.
i took a picture with my phone.
it's basically a small dialog in the middle of a black screen. (picture is of the dialog only, screen is much bigger).
this happens before the kde splash screen, right after i press "login" on kdm.
possibly this is not a kde problem, but seems to me it's appeared after kde 4.9.2 upgrade

That is definitely a KDE dialog, but I don't know what is causing that - nothing that is part of KDE should be that is for sure.
Does it occur under a new user?

Seems a pam-related arch linux only "bug" ;)

If this issue is likely to affect other Arch users, would you mind giving a link to the Arch bug report / wiki entry on this?
