[Bug 52256] kmail offline still prompting with stupid messages

[Matthew Carpenter]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kmail

I've already updated KDE bug report #7765 (http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7765)
I just wanted to notify Kubuntu, in case it was a distro problem... and to show you the choops I sent you.

Hello again, all. 
 I'm running 1.9.1 through Kubuntu (great distro) 
 
 Currently I'm seeing the "Work Offline" option, but failing to see it's value. 
 Now, instead of seeing "Unknown Host: xyz" or some other annoying message because my network is gone....  I now get  "You're working offline, would you like to work on line?"  NO!   SHUT UP!  I'M TRYING TO WORK DANGIT! 
 Sorry.  Didn't mean to outburst like that...  but you get my point. 
 
 I am *so* appreciative of all the hard work you guys have done to create the single best desktop environment and *really* improving Kmail from the old days of "oh, you needed that inbox mail?" into a quite decent email client.  Wrapping it in Kontact has even made it more usable and verging on "excellent"! 
 So please don't take this (pseudorant) the wrong way.  I just need kmail to take a hint when I tell it to piss off :) 
 Vernacular aside, this translates into: 
 Maybe warn me once that we lost the server (option).  But don't tell me again until after we've connected to the server again and lost connection.  When working offline, stay that way.  Stick an icon in the client that indicates "OFFLINE MODE", maybe even use red for offline, green for online.  But please do not prompt me for going back online.  I don't care that I have two dimap accounts which poll for changes every 5 minutes.  Just stay offline until I tell you otherwise... or unless you can actually reconnect to the server (that, by the way, is not necessarily a bad thing). 
 
 I really like the popup which said "you've lost connection to the server, check this box to avoid future notifications".  I was totally thinking that I'd not get prompted again, and I wouldn't even need offline mode! 
 
 Anyway, please take this for what it is, a humorous bit of heart-felt feedback, not a criticism of you guys.  Thank you once again. 
 
 Matt
