Description Edwin Boersma 2007-04-29 09:17:04 UTC

Version:           1.9.5 (using KDE 3.5.5 "release 45.4" , openSUSE 10.2)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.18.8-0.1-default

Hi,

Kmail seems to fail on accessing my pop accounts when I'm on a dial up connection. Via wireless and cable connections, it works well.

Accessing local accounts is ok, but it seems the external pop accounts are not even accessed. Kwallet doesn't come up, and there is no message in the status bar.
I tried starting kontact from the command line to get some debug info but there is no information when I click the "retrieve mail" button.


Rgds,
Edwin

I found Bug 130472 that explains what is happening....

But Kmail (or Kontact) does not detect that the system is in offline mode. Is this a bug?

Needs reopening.

Yes, this is a bug, but bug 130472 like you mentioned before. KMail actually seems to ask a KDED module for the networkstatus. KNetworkmanager fails to tell that KDED module that the system is online. So it is a KNetworkmanager bug, and I am marking this a as duplicate of bug 130472.

If bug 130472 gets fixed and this problem here remains, please reopen.
