           Summary: Bothersome confirmation dialogs when network is not
                    reachable.
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.12.4
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: hermes.trismegistos at web.de


Version:           1.12.4 (using KDE 4.3.5)
Compiler:          gcc (Gentoo 4.3.4 p1.0, pie-10.1.5) 4.3.4 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Whenever the network is detached and mails are fetched by KMail a confirmation
dialog pops up which tells me:

  Keine Verbindung zu Rechner pop3.yyy.zz: Netzwerk nicht erreichbar.

(No connection to host pop3.yyy.zz: Network unreachable.)

This dialog pops up for each mail account and has to be confirmed by clicking
'OK'.

The same does apply to KOrganizer which opens a confirmation dialog for each
external calender it can not reach.

I expect those applications to:
  1. either give a hint as a status information pop up on the system tray
(which fades away after a few seconds without confirmation) 
  2. or just keep calm and wait till a connection is available again.
