Re: {Possible Spam?} Re: [Evolution] Send/Receive suddenly stops working

[Michael Davis <michael damaru com>]

Hi,

I figured it out. I had somehow inadvertently clicked the offline button
on the bottom left of the main window. Normally when you do that, the
send/receive button becomes disabled, but for some reason it wasn't
disabled. I hadn't been aware that I was in offline mode, and Evolution
sure didn't give me a clue.

I would suggest to the developers that when someone clicks the offline
button, you should put up a message box telling them that that's what
they did. I was baffled by it, and I got my CS degree ten years ago, I'm
hardly a newbie!

cheers
