Its not really evo's task to monitor the kind of network response it is experiencing. This seems more like a system level network manager task which tells apps that the network is slow and be careful about the network operations you carry out. There is network manager support right now which just tracks network outage and not network inertia. Although i assume it would be hard to determine which events need to take place when the network is slow and which shouldn't. > Sometimes, evo appears to hang, but it is just doing some background > network activity.

The sync operation should not block the ui, but we all know that it happens sometimes. The status bar should be set when any network operation is happening, you see nothing on the status bar? -- Shreyas _______________________________________________ Evolution-list mailing list Evolution-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
