Description Bastien Nocera 2005-12-14 14:37:40 UTC 
It should be possible to programmatically disable and enable accounts.

A use for this would be, in conjunction with NetworkManager, to only enable
remote accounts if there is a network, or only enable a certain account if the
VPN is enabled.

Hey Bastien,
Thanks for the bug report. A patch for such a thing is already on the
evolution-patches list, although it does not do exactly what you mentioned above.

What it does is when the Network Manager signals that it the network is
online/offline, Evolution switches to online or offline. Shreyas is working on
it, and am adding him to the CC list

Adding the patch for reference:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-patches/2005-December/msg00082.html

It doesn't fix the VPN part of the problem though.
Comment 3 Shreyas Srinivasan 2005-12-14 16:07:05 UTC 
Hmmm, I guess i could add the vpn part if NM has a way to export this data.
Ofcourse this also means marking an account as being vpn only. Hmmm.. do able,
Partha what do you think ?
Comment 4 parthasarathi susarla 2005-12-14 17:37:08 UTC 
are there apis available available??
Comment 5 Bastien Nocera 2006-07-27 10:31:41 UTC 
There doesn't seem to be any API in NetworkManager for that right now. I created bug 348915 to track it though.
