Description Kenny Fairweather 2013-03-04 11:46:59 UTC 
I use kmail with 3 accounts: 1 exchange, 1 gmail and one mail.com. 

The account that connects to Exchange is always offline at startup. The "click here to go online" message is sometimes enough to get it online, but often requires multiple attempts to successfully sync mail.

During the day it can go offline again.

A workaround solution could be to simply automatically retry connection? (i.e. say once every minute, up to 10 times)

This also occassionally happens to a gmail account too, but less often and slightly different behaviour (doesnt say it is offline, but then it doesnt get messages automatically. Clicking on gmail inbox is usually enough to get it working).

Cheers big ears

The IMAP resource has a new maintainer, reassigning to him.

Does this still apply to >= 4.11.3?

Sorry, forgot about this bug report.

The offline behaviour continued to be a nuisance throughout 4.12 but appears to be solved for 4.13 (touch wood, I haven't seen it happen for about a week). I'm fine with closing this bug now.

Cheers
