            Bug ID: 334175
           Summary: Local Folders are not set to online at KMail startup
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: Git (master)
          Platform: Compiled Sources
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: misc
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: jjm at keelhaul.me.uk

I have disabled the Plasma desktop calendar integration, so that Akonadi server
does not get started at login time.  Therefore it is automatically started when
KMail is started.

The server is started as expected, but in KMail the Local Folders are shown as
"(Offline)" and will not display or fetch any mail.  To get them online it is
necessary to do an explict "Update Folder" of the inbox or any other folder (a
manual or scheduled mail check will not work) and confirm in the resulting
dialogue.

akonadiconsole confirms that the resource is not set online at KMail startup.

This problem only seems to happen if it is KMail that triggers the automatic
startup of the server.  If another Akonadi-using application (e.g.
akonadiconsole or kaddressbook) is started first, the resource stays offline at
that point but correctly goes online when KMail starts up.

Existing KMail and starting it again (so that the Akonadi server is still
running) correctly starts with the resource online.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Ensure that no Akonadi applications or the Akonadi server are running.
2.  Start KMail

Actual Results:  
3.  Observe that "Local Folders" are shown as offline, and that the message
list appears but no message bodies can be shown.


Expected Results:  
"Local Folders" should be set to online


The retrieval options for "Local Folders" are set to:  Include in manual mail
check ON, Check mail on startup OFF.
