            Bug ID: 334170
           Summary: IMAP accounts are always switched online at startup
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: Git (master)
          Platform: Compiled Sources
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: jjm at keelhaul.me.uk

An IMAP or POP account in KMail has the option (under Retrieval Options),
"Switch offline on KMail shutdown".  This works, and is useful for those cases
where the user may not want to retrieve mails all the time.

However, there is no corresponding option to choose whether the account is made
online at KMail startup - this always happens.  This may not be what the user
wants - e.g. they may not want the additional network traffic, or may not want
to synchronise a disconnected account automatically.

Suggest that there should be an additional option "Switch online on Kmail
startup" (with the default being true) to cover cases like these.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Configure Kmail with an IMAP account
2.  Set its Retrieval Options: Include in manual mail check OFF, Switch offline
on KMail shutdown ON, Check mail on startup OFF.
3.  Exit KMail
4.  Start akonadiconsole and confirm that the resource is offline.
5.  Start KMail again.  The resource will go online immediately.

Actual Results:  
Resource goes online when KMail starts up.


Expected Results:  
Have not requested it do do that.
