Package: xfce4-mailwatch-plugin Version: 1.2.0-2+b2 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream
Hi, on computers which use wireless exclusively to connect to the internet and use NetworkManager to handle wireless connections (i.e. modern laptops in default configuration), the network connection is not ready directly after login. In my setup, association takes about half a second. However, the xfce4-mailwatch-plugin tries to check all accounts directly after loading, resulting in immediate network errors since the connection isn't ready yet. Thereafter, the plugin shows: - that an error occured, until the user manually clears the log - "no new mail" until the configured checking interval has expired Both effects are annoying. If the first check would have been delayed by a few seconds, this would not happen, and the plugin would work well even from a cold boot. So, I suggest that the mailwatch-plugin delays the first check after loading by a few seconds to make it work better in a very common environment.
