In summary, not everyone uses a wireless connection. :-)
We have a place to direct this conversation and patching:

BTW, this is a healthy enhancement request but is not an R14.0.0
priority.

Does KMail start or default to offline mode when NetworkManager is
not installed?

Is there a more simpler method available? I don't see why any
Trinity network-ready app should key off of networkmanager. Many
people don't use that app. Online detection should be through the
core network libraries or the underlying OS.
I don't use networkmanager. I only …
[View More]use POP3/SMTP. KMail always
starts in online mode, which is fine except when my router is
offline, which is seldom the case. Then KMail kicks out kdialogs
about not connecting. I would not mind the kdialogs not appearing
at such times, but I'm not going to install networkmanager to
obtain that. :-)

Hi again,
I added NetworkManager support to KMail. This patch will put KMail in
offline/online mode, according to current NetworkManager state. As a side
effect, KMail will be switched automatically to offline when you will suspend
the machine, and to online after resume.
