patch to mailcheck to only give a warning after 4 successive failures (4.57 KB, patch)

Description Bart Vanhaute 2003-05-25 08:04:58 UTC 
Mail server with high loads, or changing network settings can cause the
mailcheck applet to fail to contact the server. However, these are only
temporary errors, and most probably disappear if it would just try
again. Currently, mailcheck disables automatic checking after the first
failure. Included is a patch (to 2.2.1, but it also applies to 2.2.2)
that will retry 4 times, and will disable only when there have been 4
successive failures (with the warning dialog box).

Thanks for the patch :-) I'm moving the bug to gnome-applets because
mailcheck is in gnome-applets for 2.3.x
Comment 3 Kevin Vandersloot 2003-05-25 12:12:23 UTC 
This is now fixed in HEAD where it does not disable auto checking anymore.
