After waking up from "suspend to ram", Kmail behaves weird - it keeps thinking it's in offline mode: when I try to send email - it tells me, it's in offline mode and asks if I want to go to online. I choose online. Even then - email is not being sent. Then I try to force sending emails - it asks me again about going into online mode. Even then (after choosing online) it doesn't send emails. It as far as i see doesn't receive emails. Switching between online and offline mode from file menu does not help. Turning Kmail off and on again does not help. Reboot is required. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. suspend to ram 2. wake up 3. try to send email via kmail - it wille keep asking about going online Actual Results: sending/receving emails after suspending to ram is impossible Expected Results: does not need explanation ;)
i don't know if this is related to suspend or a weird standby, but yesterday, i got stuck in this offline mode. neither restarting akonadictl nor restarting kmail(kontact) itself helps. i did however keep receiving emails, even though i got the messages at almost every step that it's in offline mode. Sending emails did not work. except when i made the systray available and resent emails via the systray. KDE 4.8.2 here
closing kontact, stopping akonadi and then logging out and back in, seemed to do the trick

Git commit 75a744dd473e57285e417456a2295400b95f9ac2 by Andras Mantia. Committed on 25/11/2012 at 16:34. Pushed by amantia into branch 'master'. Honour the online/offline setting requested by a client application in every case. Previously it could happen that the resources were set to offline mode, but due to an event, like resume from suspend, or network reconnect, the resource went online. This had bad side-effects, like downloading mails while KMail was in offline mode. Yes, it is a bug, that was there even in KMail1 times. :) I CC to other bugs about offline mode, although I'm not confident it fixes those problems. Feel free to report success/failure for those cases.

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
