Description Christian Saris 2008-03-05 10:36:41 UTC 
Whenever Evolution has a problem connecting to a mailserver, there's a modal message box saying that there was a problem. That means that this message box has got the focus and nothing else can be done until the user clicked on "OK" (if you are watching a movie for instance, the message box pops up). It would be fine if this could be done in a smoother way, for example like in the instant messenger "pidgin". If pidgin has got a connection problem, there is a red text in the status bar saying which account could not be connected and nothing more.
