[This might be an Akonadi bug] Sometimes, when I get disconnected from the Internet (usually by suspending while connected and resuming without network, but by other means too), the Akonadi IMAP accounts go into a "Ready" or "Off-line" state, but KMail still shows them as in-progress of something. The slider showing that it's checking the accounts is moving. Needless to say, the animation is pointless, misleading and wastes battery life. Please do not show in-progress of a state that isn't in progress. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: Unable to provide specific instructions to reproduce. Actual Results: The slider showing progress is active, indicating that Akonadi is doing something, even if all accounts are "Off-line". See also the attached screenshot for the case of "Ready" and "Off-line". Expected Results: If all accounts are off-line, then no progress should be shown and the slider animation should not be active. Most of the time, it works like that.

Ok will investigate it.
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 kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
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.
