            Bug ID: 377553
           Summary: regression: error dialog when server can not be
                    reached
           Product: Akonadi
           Version: 4.13
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: POP3 Resource
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: kollix at aon.at
                CC: aacid at kde.org, vkrause at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

Since the latest update (openSuse 42.2 updated to latest KDE, now using
16.12.3)
the POP resource (I assume) shows a dialog whenever the POP Server can not be
contacted - which is here always the case when
- I use the company VPN
- I'm inside the company network, which blocks outgoing POP port requests

The dialog shows:
"Unable to login to the server securemail.a1.net.
Timeout on server
securemail.a1.net: Socket operation timed out"

In previous KDE Version (16.08) no error dialog was thrown at the user, and the
problem was silently ignored in the background.

Please restore the previous behavior. A background resource should not throw a
dialog onto the user but behave silent in this case.
It should simply retry and it will be successful again when the network is
again reachable.
