Thanks for your answer. Now that I read again, I didn't put my question correctly . So, I don't understand if yours is doing the same or the opposite .

Again: I would expect the CM to invoke the connection but it doesn't. Is that what you see too?

In order to overcome this, I usually press the refresh of the RSS in the desktop and then start CM. In that way, the connection is already made when CM goes for the IMAP connection.

BTW, there was just an update to v 2.10.0-1 but the site doesn't still have the changelog. Probably there will be some news tomorrow.

EDIT: Sorry, I've messed previously the version number. I should stop posting that late at night!
