Goals:

  • report errors to the user with instructions on how to further investigate and/or resolve them
  • show some kind of indicator for transient errors, e.g. no network connectivity
  • record instances of failing protocol commands, e.g. message X couldn't be moved to folder Y (we also have to undo the local move operation)
  • should include a separate UI, i.e. get rid of the "K9mail-errors" folder
  • IMAP: if the server closes the connection, but sends an untagged BYE response, display the message to the user

This error reporting should also display the long version to this notifications, because there is currently no way to read the complete text:

Sound like this issue asks for a lot of architecture change to make error reporting great. I do agree with this, but that might take some development efforts. In the meantime, I would like to have simple error reporting. For instance, when I reload the messages by dragging down the message list in the Inbox, if a connection error occurred, no message is shown! Should I open another ticket just to get basic error reporting showing up?

Okay, as issue 2480 was just labeled as duplicate, I just want to clearify here, that I would make sense to have no error message at all (no notice, no red blinking led) when the client is offline and the user wants to send a message as I explained it in the issue.

Please implement this, especially #2480 (i.e., unusable / unnecessary notification in offline mode)
