Public bug reported: Binary package hint: thunderbird
I have my Thunderbird configured for several IMAP servers. One of them is only accessible from inside a certain network. Whenever I connect to the internet outside of this network, I cannot access that IMAP server. When this is the case, Thunderbird repeatedly complains that it cannot contact that server. I have set that account to never check for new messages, but the dialog boxes keep coming. I suppose the expected behavior would be to show the "server timed out" dialog once per server per session. After that, maybe it should put a little warning sign next to that server's icon until it can reestablish the connection, but it definitely should not keep popping up the same dialog every few minutes. $ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=7.10 DISTRIB_CODENAME=gutsy DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 7.10" $ apt-cache policy thunderbird thunderbird: Installed: 2.0.0.12+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.7.10.0 ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Tue Mar 4 19:13:13 2008 Dependencies: DistroRelease: Ubuntu 7.10 Package: mozilla-thunderbird None [modified: /var/lib/dpkg/info/mozilla-thunderbird.list] PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: thunderbird Uname: Linux bigbrick 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Feb 12 07:42:25 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux ** Affects: thunderbird (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug -- Thunderbird constantly complains when IMAP server offline https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/198606 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
