When the user fetches its mail, it is obvious that he is connected. This is the
perfect time to send the unsent messages. Actually, when the user has been
disconnected and reconnects, the first thing he'll do is probably to fetch his
messsages.

This is what kmail does and I am very satisfied with it.

I tried the 'offline' plugin but it is not satisfactory to me. Unsent messages
should be sent as soon as possible, and the soonest is when you fetch your mail.
