Description Isaac Wilcox 2006-02-22 17:44:21 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Hi,

If you go offline, quit KMail, then start it up again, you'll start in offline mode.  Click on an IMAP folder, and you'll be presented with a page that says:
  KMail is currently in offline mode. Click <<here>> to go online . . .

<<here>> is a link that you'd expect to do something, but it appears to the user to do nothing.  It has exactly the same problems as the DCOP calls in bug 122498 (I suspect it just calls resumeNetworkJobs() underneath, actually), plus it doesn't actually reload the message summary pane once you've gone online - so even when you're online, it doesn't show you the messages you'd expect to see.

It should reload the pane showing you the newly accessible contents, update the menu entry and update the status bar.

Cheers,

Zak (Isaac Wilcox)

Fixed in KDE4. Clicking on the link will reactivate the connection (and display an explicit message in the statusbar)
