Description Peter Hägg 2002-05-05 14:24:16 UTC
Package: gnome-applets
Severity: minor
Version: 1.100.0
Synopsis: Annoying behaviour when mbox offline
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-applets
Bugzilla-Component: mailcheck

Description:
Description of Problem: When mbox is offline and 'check email every...'
is activated a dialog box is shown that email checking is disabled for
now. IMHO it should only display a dialog box that the mbox is offline,
if even that. It should NOT disable the email checking as pop3 mboxes
might be offline quite often (at least my ISP's :o).
Now you have to manually activate the checking every time it has been
deactivated.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Preferences: Activate 'check mail for every...' check box
2. Wait for your mbox to be offline

How often does this happen?
Always when my mbox is offline and the applet checks for mail

My IMAP mailbox falls out every now and then, and not being able to
turn this behaviour off is highly annoying.
Comment 2 Mark McLoughlin 2002-08-11 13:12:12 UTC
This sounds like its really annoying. Upping severity.
