--- Comment #2 from Timo Weingärtner <timo at tiwe.de> ---
This bug is still present in KMail 5.2.3. When disconnecting all NM connections
KMail shows:
---8<---8<---
Offline

KMail is currently in offline mode. Click here to go online . . .
---8<---8<---
but clicking "here" doesn't help.

Relying on NM to tell if a server is reachable is a heuristic and the heuristic
is wrong.
A better heuristic might be to run "ip route get $SERVER" which might incur a
DNS timeout if a hostname is used.
