Description Doug Laidlaw 2012-07-27 09:21:25 CEST

Description of problem:

claws-mail always starts in offline mode, and claims that the network manager reports that the network is down.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

3.8


How reproducible:

Any startup of claws-mail.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.

This seems to have been reported as a bug elsewhere, e.g.:
http://us.generation-nt.com/answer/bug-661334-claws-mail-start-offline-mode-because-networkmanager-help-206578092.html

(Debian.)

I first noticed it about a week ago.  The workaround is simple enough: just click the connection icon. But it wasn't that way before.

OOPS! I am trying to read mail from /var/spool/mail/doug.  In that case, the network shouldn't come into it.  That seems to confirm that claws-mail is the cause.

I don't know why, but this bug seems to have gone away in the last couple of days or so.
