Hello again, all.
I'm running 1.9.1 through Kubuntu (great distro)

Currently I'm seeing the "Work Offline" option, but failing to see it's value.
Now, instead of seeing "Unknown Host: xyz" or some other annoying message because my \
network is gone....  I now get  "You're working offline, would you like to work on \
line?"  NO!   SHUT UP!  I'M TRYING TO WORK DANGIT! Sorry.  Didn't mean to outburst \
like that...  but you get my point.

I am *so* appreciative of all the hard work you guys have done to create the single \
best desktop environment and *really* improving Kmail from the old days of "oh, you \
needed that inbox mail?" into a quite decent email client.  Wrapping it in Kontact \
has even made it more usable and verging on "excellent"! So please don't take this \
(pseudorant) the wrong way.  I just need kmail to take a hint when I tell it to piss \
off :) Vernacular aside, this translates into:
Maybe warn me once that we lost the server (option).  But don't tell me again until \
after we've connected to the server again and lost connection.  When working offline, \
stay that way.  Stick an icon in the client that indicates "OFFLINE MODE", maybe even \
use red for offline, green for online.  But please do not prompt me for going back \
online.  I don't care that I have two dimap accounts which poll for changes every 5 \
minutes.  Just stay offline until I tell you otherwise... or unless you can actually \
reconnect to the server (that, by the way, is not necessarily a bad thing).

I really like the popup which said "you've lost connection to the server, check this \
box to avoid future notifications".  I was totally thinking that I'd not get prompted \
again, and I wouldn't even need offline mode!

Anyway, please take this for what it is, a humorous bit of heart-felt feedback, not a \
criticism of you guys.  Thank you once again.

Matt
