Description of problem: When laptop comes from suspend Evolution gives error message "Evolution is currently offline due to a network outage. Evolution will return to online mode once a network connection is established." But it stays in offline mode for ever. I have to manually set it to "online" mode. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): F15 evolution 3.0.2-3 evolution-NetworkManager 3.0.2-3 evolution-data-server 3.0.2-1 evolution-exchange 3.0.2.-1 How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. setup Evolution email account 2. fetch/send mail to make sure it works 3. disconnect laptop from network (lan/wifi) 4. reconnect laptop to network 5. see if Evolution can send/receive messages. Actual results: Evolution stays offline Expected results: Evolution should automatically reconnect to network and resume expected functionality. Additional info:
Strangely enough sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I will investigate the problem, and reopen the ticket if it becomes clear that problem is not my personal configuration issue.
Thanks for a bug report. I do not think it's complete your configuration issue, as I was about to find a similar bug, which I didn't find. I noticed bug #709614 with request how to improve cooperation between evolution and NetworkManager, but apart of that I didn't find anything close. The thing is that evolution doesn't work well with suspend, and as such it's usually safer to close it before you suspend your machine.
I'm reopening this bug. Have retest everything and came to conclusion that there are some issues with evolution network management. And thnx Milan for you comment.
Could you write your steps and expectations, please? Maybe they are covered by the above-mentioned bug.
I do not do anything exotic, very simple rather. Open evolution, after working whole day on my laptop i just close the lid put it in suspend and go home. Next morning open laptop, it connects to network i can browse the web, proceed with my work, but evolution stays in offline mode until i manually put in in online mode. And there is one more strange issue, when evolution says "due to network outage i'm in offline mode' and i try to put it in online mode, i press "File", but i don't see "Online" i can only see "Offline". The "Online" field is grayed out. So solution is to quit evolution and restart it.
I just noticed this problem with evolution-3.2.3-1.fc16.x86_64. I unplugged by Ethernet cable (with wifi killed by hardware switch), and Evolution never displayed the "offline mode" icon in the lower left, it kept showing as online. When I hit F9 to check mail, nothing happened. I would have expected some sort of notification I couldn't check mail without network connectivity.
Do you have evolution-NetworkManager installed? it makes sure the state is properly propagated from Networkmanager into Evolution, and when it happens then you may see in the status bar of Evolution some activity. If you run evolution from console, then you may also see console messages like "Force online"/"Force offline", which are responses on NetworkManager state changes. Nonetheless, I guess the issue is with respective email providers, which try to disconnect from the server gracefully, which can result in an "infinite" wait for server's response, which will never happen.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
