Description Poornima 2006-01-16 12:11:41 UTC 
Disconnect desktop from network.
click on switch to online, evolution switches to online.

Expected result: Evolution should be in synch with the state of 'Network manager'
User should not be allowed to change the state of evolution to online when disconnected from desktop.
Comment 1 André Klapper 2006-01-17 10:26:49 UTC 
so, where can i enable or disable network manager support in evolution?
Comment 2 André Klapper 2006-02-23 13:23:58 UTC 
...and what do evolution users under kde? are they not allowed to not get intrusive error popups (bug 247373)?

i myself do want to decide when evolution has to be offline and when not. so shall i now leave evolution when i want to watch a film to not get any popups, or what?

poornima, please answer this. how can i find out if network manager runs? what do i have to grep for in ps ax?

NEEDINFO.

also see bug 329712; reassigning to shres.
Comment 3 Shreyas Srinivasan 2006-02-23 16:36:47 UTC 
ps aux | grep NetworkManager ?

Poornima: If the user wants to go online even when the network is down. Its not really my concern. I mean what happens if he has an local offline imap server which has new stuff cached and evolution needs to be online to fetch new stuff. 

NetworkManager is not gnome or a kde app. Infact kmail supports network manager now so i presume kde would have NetworkManager running too. I dont really know what the question was, i hope this was the answer :p
