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
