Description Harald Sitter 2012-10-22 13:22:35 UTC

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set bogus dns server
2. try to use accountwizard with gmail addre

Actual Results:  
waiting....waiting...waiting...

Expected Results:  
should time out and give appropriate error message

Ok perhaps :)
Will look at it.
Will test it soon.
Don't know how to test if dns is not good.

networkmanager with bogus dns entry

supposedly setting a nameserver that is not a nameserver or is not reachable should do the trick

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kdepim (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

Comment 4 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 22:31:01 UTC

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
