oops! brain not switched on today - re comment above, I got my pop3 and smtp back to front. just to put is straight I can send via smtp but not collect via pop3 (kmail thinks it can't see the pop3 server). Interestingly, today I found out how to add ppp to my interfaces file and now I can connect using NM - right click, dial up connections but although this gives me internet FF3 still starts in offline mode and I still can't collect mail! shutting NM then lets me collect mail and continue to use the internet but FF3 still starts in offline mode.
from this I would say there is a problem in FF3 but also one in NM -- [MASTER] "Offline Mode" feature fails to detect proper online state for networks that are managed outside of network manager. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/191889 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
