Description Matthew Paul Thomas (mpt) 2007-01-19 02:00:08 UTC 
Evolution 2.8.1, Ubuntu 6.10

Whenever I'm out of range of a wireless network (e.g. when I'm on a plane), Evolution puts up an error alert of the form: "Host lookup failed: imap.example.com: Temporary failure in name resolution".

This is annoying and unnecessary. When an incoming mail server is unavailable for any reason, it should be indicated as such in Evolution's accounts/folders pane, with an icon you can click on for an explanation if you really need one.
