            Bug ID: 297783
          Severity: normal
           Version: 4.8
          Priority: NOR
                CC: kdepim-bugs at kde.org, vkrause at kde.org
          Assignee: ervin at kde.org
           Summary: No feedback on IMAP connection problems
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: kde at opensource.sf-tec.de
          Hardware: openSUSE RPMs
            Status: NEW
         Component: IMAP resource
           Product: Akonadi

The story began in bug 297564: I accidentially put a wrong IP address for my
IMAP server in /etc/hosts. While the configuration itself was correct otherwise
I would not receive any new mails and the IMAP resources would always show up
as offline. There was abolutely no feedback of what went wrong, neither in
KMail nor in Akonadiconsole. I only found out what was going on if I tried to
send a mail and the SMTP transfer failed with "connection refused" and told me
so.

The IMAP resource needs to give any useful feedback if the remote server
rejects the connection instead of silently going to offline.
