https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286047

           Summary: dimap account requires network connection
           Product: kmail2
           Version: Git (master)
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mail at milianw.de


Version:           Git (master)
OS:                Linux

first up: not sure if this belongs here, it's probably an issue with the dimap
agent that is in kdepim-runtime, or?

now to the actual bug report:
when I have no inet connection, i.e. during startup or esp. on resume from
suspend, my dimap accounts go into offline mode.

When this happens, I cannot access my mail anymore. See also bug 286045.
Akonadiconsole shows my agents in offline mode with "could not connect to
mymail.somehost.com" error message. I have to toggle them online manually and
restart kmail to get access to my mail.

now I wonder why this happens, dimap == disconnected == I want at least access
to my disconnected cache even if I have no net connection

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
- start kmail 2 with dimap account
- suspend to ram
- resume
- check mail and try to access your inbox

Actual Results:  
multiple things can happen:

- endlessly spinning bug 286045
- no mails show up
- only "new" mails, but no cached/old mails

Expected Results:  
- always show cached items
