Description Frank Steinmetzger 2011-01-07 05:33:12 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.90) 
OS:                Linux

A short while ago I installed KDE 4.6 RC2 and the new PIM suite. The migration for my two POP3 and one disconnected IMAP account went well. The resources for those mail accounts automatically had the "Switch offline on KMail Shutdown" option enabled, but it seems to me that it is not observed. Mails are still downloaded when Kontact/KMail is not running.

One result of this is that sorting filters which were set up in KMail are not applied, thus my inbox gets swamped with mailing lists and such and I have to manually apply the filters.
Another is that, because of Kontact's online nature, it is usually closed when I’m offline. When that is the case, I run into Bug 250208 (frequent error messages due to timeouts).

Reproducible: Didn't try




Software versions (they are not listed in the version dropdown):
Akonadi server: 1.4.90
KDE: 4.6 RC2 (4.5.95)
KDE PIM: 4.5.93

The bug that the POP3 resource would fetch mail when offline has been fixed in a more recent version, so please try newer packages.
