Description of problem: Recently I've switched from wifi connection to ethernet. Since that day my KMail kept thinhing that it is in offline mode and I could not switch it to online one. Today I've discovered that my eth0 card is not managed by Network Manager (thanks to Network Manager's plasmoid which I used for Wifi networks management). So I've launched MCC and allowed eth0 to be managed by Network Manager. It helped and now KMail works fine. I think this issue should be somehow solved so other users won't be confused. I'm using latest cauldron, updated every day. Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:

do you have network manager installed & not used when it's happening ?
It is installed, but what do you mean by "not used" ?
i mean that nm does not handle the network (you're still using mageia 's script for this)
I cannot be sure as I've permamently switched from wifi to wire, however nm for sure was used with wifi and then I just plugged in a wire. So I guess nm was somehow running/used.
