           Summary: No error message when trying to display emails while
                    'Enable Disconnected Mode' unchecked
           Product: KMail Mobile
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: sabine at kdab.net


Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

There is no error message when the 'Enable disconnected mode' check box in
unchecked and a user tries to load new emails.

The new email content is not displayed even after more than 5 minutes and the
user may not realize why.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
- Launch Kmail-mobile
- Connect the N900 to the wifi
- Click on your Imap account
- Open the 'Actions' tab
- Click on 'Account'
- Click on 'Edit account'
- Uncheck the ' Enable Disconnected Mode' check box
- Click on 'Write new email' (ex: Email 1)
- Enter a subject, a few words (ex: testing disconnected mode disabled) and a
recipient
- Click on 'Send'
- Reopen 'Actions' tab
- Click on 'Synchronize emails in account'
- Go to your Imap inbox and check that Email 1 is listed in the Message list
- DO NOT click on the email
- Disconnect the N900 from the wifi
- Go back to the Imap inbox and click on Email 1 to read its content in the
Message viewer.


Actual Results:  
The sender's email address, the subject and the date and time are displayed in
the Message viewer.

However Email 1 text is not.

Even after 5 minutes there is no error message indicating to the user that
there is no wifi connection and that is why he cannot read the email content.

Expected Results:  
After a few minutes an error message should appear when the email content
cannot be loaded. Something not too specific like: 'Could not connect to
server.' 

That will help the user realize why he cannot see the email content in case he
has not realized that he lost his internet connexion.
