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.

Many users og openSUSE do not use Network Manager because the network can be configured via Yast. Will this patch work correctly when not using NM?
Of course, KMail will work normally if NM is not installed.
What if NM installed but not used? One can switch between NM and ifup mechanisms in Yes with one checkbox. Will not Kmail go off-line if it detects that NM is installed but not running?
My patch just is watching NM state changes. If NM is not running, no state changes are detected, so nothing happens to kmail. Maybe sometime I will implement a KDED service which will ping the gateway and will expose the status of network via DCOP.
What is the control is switched from NM ti ifup on fly via Yast? Will kmail go off-line? Will it be recoverable? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
