            Bug ID: 421267
           Summary: After resume: Dialog asking if dispatcher should be
                    turned on appears
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.14.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: ach at mpe.mpg.de
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Starting with KDE Apps 20.04 update: after every resume a dialog is shown
asking:

   The mail dispatcher is offline, so mails cannot be sent.  Do you want to
make it online?


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. start kmail
2. suspend laptop
3. resume laptop


OBSERVED RESULT
Dialog  pops up  asking if I want to turn the mail dispatcher on

EXPECTED RESULT
No dialog after resume. Dispatcher was on before suspend, so it should be on
after resume.  No need to ask.

Please change the default (back to): don't ask, turn dispatcher on after resume
if it was on before suspend.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: kde neon user
KMail Version 5.14.0 (20.04.0)
KDE Frameworks 5.69.0
Qt 5.14.2 (built against 5.14.1)
The xcb windowing system


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I can use 'do not ask again' to turn off the dialog in the future, but IMHO
no new or existing user should ever be 'forced' to do this after a
suspend/resume cycle.   The dialog does not follow IMHO the 'least surprise'
principle.
