Description Johannes Berg 2003-05-09 16:34:45 UTC
Package: Evolution
Priority: Wishlist
Version: 1.3.2
Synopsis: "offline server" setting
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer

Description:
It would be nice to have a setting for each pop3/imap/smtp server that,
when checked, tells evolution that this server is also reachable in
offline mode.

Example 1: a local IMAP server used to store all mails, instead of
having evolution store them, to be able to sometimes access the mail
storage from the network.
Example 2: a local POP3 server that does some processing on mails
Example 3: a local SMTP server that pre-processes mails and queues them
(although I admit that using sendmail here is an option, not for the
other examples though. But I think there may still be situations where a
local SMTP server is superior to sendmail)

This check-box could be enabled by default for "localhost", "127.0.01",
"::1" (and other forms) etc.

The idea is that one can go into offline mode, yet retrieve/send mail
from/to the local servers. Going into real "online" mode is not an
option, because then other servers will not be accessible, and
auto-download from those will fail and display a message all the time.

The setting should apply to auto-downloading messages, as well as IMAP
connections, and for SMTP when sending an email.



Setting qa contact to the default for this product.
   This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.

Sort of related to #272584
Comment 2 André Klapper 2021-05-19 11:33:07 UTC
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. 
As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org
which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately
quite limited so not every ticket can get handled).

If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent
and supported software version, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new enhancement request ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
