1802300 - Consider adding offline check to POP3 [pop-js]

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Networking: POP, defect)

Description

[b5]

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1798597 +++

(We wanted to ask this "off topic" in bug 1798597, but the new bugzilla policy prohibits new comments on a closed bug, not ever the reporter can add another comment, like verifying the fix. This seems to be counterproductive.)

When using TB in offline more, we receive this in the console:
mailnews.pop3.11: ConnectionRefusedError: a Network error occurred Pop3Client.jsm:349:18
    _onError resource:///modules/Pop3Client.jsm:349

It might be better not to try accessing the network by adding an offline check. This might also be true for the new IMAP-JS implementiation.

When downloading the rest of a partial POP3 message fails, display a network error page instead of an empty message pane. This can happen if offline mode is active, or if the UIDL for the message cannot be found on the server.
