Description Grzegorz Oledzki 2006-08-24 22:01:08 UTC

Version:           1.9.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

When I turn kmail into offline mode it still keeps asking whether to stay offline or go online once a few minutes. Probably it takes place when its time to fetch mail automatically (I have both POP and Cached-IMAP account). 
It should ask at most once or even never - it's my decision to go offline.

I think it's like this, because the user might have forgotten that (s)he's offline. But that could be solved with a special (gray?) sys tray icon, when being offline.

If you have e.g. 8 mail-accounts, it is very troubling...

I have two disconnected IMAP accounts and see the same thing.  I didn't see it for a long time because I believe you partially fixed this functionality a while back.  What caused it to start happening to me again seemed to be setting "Accounts->Sending->Send Queued Mail" to "On All Mail Checks".

This is still very troubling to me, since I'm queuing my mail for a good purpose and don't want it to sit idly for hours or days while I forget to send it.  I'm basically queuing it so I can catch myself saying or doing stupid things (unencrypted emails which should be PGP'd for instance) before the mail truly gets sent.  So far it's worked 95% of the time :)

Thank you,
Matt
