I added NetworkManager support to KMail. This patch will put

It would be interesting to forward-port this to the TDE network management system, so that DBUS code is not duplicated in multiple places within TDE...
Does KMail start or default to offline mode when NetworkManager is not installed?

Kmail here is always online, which, for an enterprise type workstation is what I lwant. Laptops may benifit from networkmanager, I never have and don't need one more thing to deal with in my environment.

This is one reason why I would like this feature to use the TDE network system, as that system a.) falls back gracefully when NetworkManager is not installed and b.) is designed so that other network backends (e.g. simply reading ifconfig) can be added in the future.
