Description Brendon Higgins 2009-06-05 06:19:10 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Hi,

I've noticed that if I put KMail into offline mode, then disconnect the ethernet cable from my laptop, the interval mail checking of KMail will (after some time) cause it to complain that it could not connect to my IMAP account (I'm using disconnected IMAP, FWIW). I don't know if KMail would continue to check my mail if it could connect, but considering that it is supposedly in "Offline mode", it shouldn't even try.

Peace,
Brendon

It works as expected in kmail 1.11.90 (svn trunk r976506) (kde 4.2.87).
tcpdump does not shows any kmail activity in offline mode.

I also notice this behaviour (sometimes) with KDE 4.3 beta 1. This sounds for me like a duplicate of bug 122499.

I still have that problem in 1.12.1 with kde 4.3.1.
This bug has indeed be carried over from KDE3 and it's really disappointing to see that this still does not work properly.

After wakeup from suspend (and switching to offline before that), the status line complains 'Connection to blah.mail.com broken' (still in offline!!). Then, going 'online' and checking mail results in some kio-imap daemon (I guess) getting totally stuck.
Only solution is to restart kmail.

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.
