Summary: when offline/online modes are irrelevant -- please
disable this distinction
Product: kmail
Version: unspecified
Platform: SuSE RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: bluedzins wp pl
Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from: SuSE RPMs
When user uses only on-demand features (send on demand, fetch on demand) and
when user relies on such on-demand behaviour all questions related to
offline/online switch are:
a) unrelated
b) confusing
I don't know what Kmail tries to do when the network is dead, user sends a
message and KMail asks if it should go online. Establish connection? For me it
is just bizarre, for weekend users the question is surreal, i.e. "what online?
I just want to send message like I did all the time". Reporting error with
connection right away is much more clear ("oh, I have to turn the router on").
So please, if offline/online distinction is irrelevant (user do not use
auto-fetch feature) please disable this switch.
