Bug ID: 377553
Summary: regression: error dialog when server can not be
reached
Product: Akonadi
Version: 4.13
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: POP3 Resource
Assignee: kdepim-b...@kde.org
Reporter: kol...@aon.at
CC: aa...@kde.org, vkra...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
Since the latest update (openSuse 42.2 updated to latest KDE, now using
16.12.3)
the POP resource (I assume) shows a dialog whenever the POP Server can not be
contacted - which is here always the case when
- I use the company VPN
- I'm inside the company network, which blocks outgoing POP port requests
The dialog shows:
"Unable to login to the server securemail.a1.net.
Timeout on server
securemail.a1.net: Socket operation timed out"
In previous KDE Version (16.08) no error dialog was thrown at the user, and the
problem was silently ignored in the background.
Please restore the previous behavior. A background resource should not throw a
dialog onto the user but behave silent in this case.
It should simply retry and it will be successful again when the network is
again reachable.
