No its not really that easy at all. You can't just hide all errors because you dont know which are network errors and which are something else entirely. For example, the error messages from local mailboxes such as 'out of disk space' are a bit more important, but currently they just use the same error codes. I suggest you just learn to click offline, that is what its there for. _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
