Bug#366338: #366338 evolution: send/receive button remains greyed out (when in offline mode)

[Erich Schubert]

Hi,
Well, the bug report obviously is quite old now, and things have changed
in Evolution a lot since.
So I'd just close it, since the key behaviour has improved a lot by now.

However, there is still a related issue with Evolution that I'm aware
of, but that should probably be handled as an upstream bug report.

I use an IMAP server on "localhost". Obviously, going offline shouldn't
prevent evolution from fetching emails from "localhost". I believe when
I reported this bug, I was seeing a similar thing with a local Maildir.
I was using the "sync mails" button to have evolution re-check the
maildirs. But the button was not available due to NetworkManager
claiming offline mode (I was probably connected without using
NetworkManager).

Regards,
Erich

thanks

Hello Erich,

My summary of the bug http://bugs.debian.org/366338 is that when
evolution enables the offline mode no email is recived/send and the
button is greyed.
But IMHO this is correct and OK.
The user can disable/enable offline mode in file -> work offline

Evolution gets the information from network manager.

I'm using both since some time and it works fine.

What should be done in your opinion regarding this bug?

thx.
