3.10.4 on F20

0. For your IMAP account's inbox, define "Sync messages to offline"
1. Click the Offline button in Evolution.
2. Switch off machine.
3. Start machine.
4. Be offline (in NetworkManager and hence also in Evolution)
5. In Evolution, try to access the inbox of your IMAP account.
6. Wait for ages.
7. Finally get an error message:
   Failed to open folder.
   The reported error was "You must be working online to complete this operation".
8. Switch to another local folder (no problems to display local folders).
9. Switch back to that IMAP folder mentioned before.
10 Now its folder content is quickly displayed without any problems.

This can be partly related to bug #729848, which is against 3.12. It can be that the changes done meanwhile were influence on this bug report from 3.10.
Comment 2 Milan Crha 2014-06-11 17:40:26 UTC 
This is fixed within bug #729848 now, thus I mark this as a duplicate of it.
