           Summary: missing network detection system
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Mandrake RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kmail@kde.org
        ReportedBy: daniele@dcs.it


Version:           1.5 (kdenetwork-3.1) (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
OS:          Linux

I'm using a dial-up connection.
If I try to send or get messages when disconnected I (naturally) get a message saying that the host is unreachable.
Now, if I connect to Internet and then issue the command again, I get the same message.
If I close and restart kmail, nothing changes, it will keep complaining that the network is unreachable.
To be able to get/send email again, I have to close and restart X.

So, it seems as if the information about a host being unreachable get stored somewhere, and the information is erased when closing X (or DCOP, I guess), while it would be better if the program searched for the host anytime I ask it to.
