I just found the src of all my troubles keeping kmail confgured

Greetings everybody;

Something just now got my attention as I was moving the mouse, and it 
explains perfectly all the trouble I've ever had keeping it configured. 
It would suddenly start keeping sent mail in some random folder intended 
for incoming, or it would change the mail transport, or the default 
dictionary, this despite the 4 sticky boxes all being checked.

A. There are no wheel clickers in modern mice.

B. because of this, its extremely difficult to move the mouse about the 
screen without also causing the wheel to move however minutely.

C. Stopping the pointer above one of the header lines and scrolling the 
wheel, scrolls it thru all the selections available for that particular 
line (sent-mail, dictionary, mail transport etc) and when the mouse has 
moved on, without a click, the option remains selected.

IMO this is a bug, a big PITA bug. IMO to change that stuff, one should 
first have to uncheck the sticky box, make your selection and lock it 
again with a sticky box checkmark.

Can this be looked at?  Please?

Cheers, Gene Heskett
