Package: evolution
Version: 2.0.3-1.1
Severity: minor
This has now happened the second time to me, I remember now the same
happened sometime last year: All of a sudden, evolution refuses to
receive any mail. The send/receive button is greyed out. I restart
evolution, and now the button is back - but when i click, nothing
happens. I go through the settings, re-set up all accounts, nothing. I
check the exim4 logs, they seem ok. In short, after an hour wasted, I
discover a litte red x at the bottom left. I click on it, and mail works
again.
My suggestions:
- Display a warning ("switch to online mode to send or receive mails")
when send/receive is attempted in offline mode
- alternatively, instead of greying out the send/receive button, display
the text "offline" there
- move the button to toggle offline mode somewhere where it is harder to
click, the bottom left screen is where the gnome menu sits, so i click
there all the time. if it would be right next to send/receive, i
probably also would have seen the red x and wondered.
[I stopped checking the existing reports reportbug listed after about
100.. so i'm sorry if this is already reported]
