           Summary: pop3 resources switches itself from offline to online
                    if "interval mail checking" is enabled
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: 1.4.50
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: POP3 Resource
        AssignedTo: mcguire at kde.org
        ReportedBy: tittiatcoke at gmail.com
                CC: vkrause at kde.org, kdepim-bugs at kde.org


Version:           1.4.50 (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

The pop3 resource is created through kmail2 and in the retrieval options it is
indicated that the resource should be switched offline on kmail shutdown. When
the system is booted up, then the pop3 resource is indeed offline. However
after the indicated timing for the Interval Mail Checking, the resource
switches to online and tries to check for email. If the system at that moment
does not have a network connection, then a dialog is presented to adjust the
password settings as that the mailbox couldn't be checked. 

Especially on a laptop this is not wanted as that it could happen quite often
that there is no network connection available. If it was just a silent check
without the dialog, then it would be a little bit better. But the best thing
would be that the resource obeys it's settings and that if the resource is
offline, the interval mail checking should not switch it online

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Define a pop3 resource in kmail2
2. Enable interval mail checking. 
3. Select switch offline when kmail shutdown in the retrieval options
4. Shutdown kmail
5. Validate that the pop3 resource is indeed offline (akonadiconsole)
6. Disconnect the network

Actual Results:  
After a number of minutes (based on the defined interval for the automatic mail
checking), a dialog is shown which indicates that the pop3 account could not be
reached and if you want to change the authentication settings for this account.
Checking with akonadiconsole, it appears that the pop3 resource has been
switched to online

Expected Results:  
The pop3 resource should remain offline until kmail2 is started.
