            Bug ID: 308566
          Severity: normal
           Version: Git (master)
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Using a folder while IMAP agent is offline does not
                    load folder settings (and sometimes loses them)
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: thiago at kde.org
          Hardware: Compiled Sources
            Status: NEW
         Component: folders
           Product: kmail2

If you enter an IMAP folder while its agent is offline (for example, due to
having no network connectivity), the per-folder settings such as aggregation
and sorting controls or the preference for HTML mail are not loaded. The folder
is displayed with some defaults loaded from somewhere else.

Worse, some of the settings are lost: at least the HTML preference is lost,
even after connecting and reloading the folder.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select an IMAP while the Akonadi agent is online
2. Change some per-folder setting, like the aggregation type, sorting order, or
preference for HTML display
3. Change folders
4. Disconnect the agent (disconnecting the network or manually placing it on
offline mode in Akonadi Console)
5. Select the folder again
Actual Results:  
The folder is displayed with the folder defaults. The HTML display setting is
not respected and also reverts back to the default.

Expected Results:  
The per-folder settings should have been respected, even in offline mode. The
settings are local (not stored on the server), but even if they were remote,
they could have been cached locally.
