           Summary: Kontact/Calendar continously tries to update remote
                    calendar being offline
           Product: korganizer
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: groupware
        AssignedTo: korganizer-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: somiatruites at gmail.com


Version:           4.3.0 pre (using 4.2.90 (KDE 4.2.90 (KDE 4.3 Beta2)),
Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-13-generic

This may be not exactly a bug, but it is indeed a quite annoying feature:
I have configured a few calendars in Kontact which are fetched from a remote
server. The problem is that when I work offline, Kontact tries to update them
periodically which results in a pop-up window warning about the error.
How to reproduce: configure calendar in remote file with updates at regular
intervals. Switch off network connection.
Problem is that this pop-ups accumulate and have to be clicked one by one
before being able to access any part of Kontact.
Expected behavior would be that the message is shown in a less annoying way
(bottom bar or as a system notification), or even better stop trying to update
the calendar after auto-detection of offline mode.
Bottom line is: Normally I know I'm offline, hence I don't need my calendar to
accumulate reminders every ten minutes.
