My problem is that the online/offline state in Evolution doesn't reflect the real online/offline state of my computer. This can of course easily be solved by me clicking the online/offline button in Evolution every time i connect/disconnect to Internet. I have a proposal for a better solution though, just wanted to know what everybody else thinks about it. The solution is very easy. I would need a checkbox in the Evolution settings named something like "display annoying messages when no network found" (or maybe the negated version "silently discard network errors").No its not really that easy at all. You can't just hide all errors because you dont know which are network errors and which are something else entirely. For example, the error messages from local mailboxes such as 'out of disk space' are a bit more important, but currentlytheyjust use the same error codes. I suggest you just learn to click offline, that is what its there for.Another solution has been proposed on this list before: make Evolution respond to certain types of signals sent to it by another process by going on/off line (perhaps letting that process know when the change of state has completed). If Evolution had this feature, then the program that makes the computer go on/off line could do the same to Evolution. This is a very obvious feature. As things stand, when one wants to get off the Internet if one has a PPP connection, one has to manually set Evolution to offline mode. But making things happen automatically is what computers are for.
A remote control feature similar to Mozilla's would be nice. -- Cliff Wells, Software Engineer Logiplex Corporation (www.logiplex.net) (503) 978-6726 x308 (800) 735-0555 x308
