Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

I am running jaunty.

Evolution calendar asked me for the password to access the google calendars, when I started the calendar while offline. Evolution should not assume a failed authentication when it does not reach the server. It should not even try to access the server, when the computer is in offline mode (network-manager).

Steps to reproduce:
1) add a google calendar to your evolution calendars so that the entries of the google calendar will be displayed in evolution.
2) close evolution
3) diconnect from the internet
4) start evolution calendar

Evolution will ask for the google password although it is already saved.

This problem still exists in Karmic. Though evolution does not prompt for a password, offline access to google calendar contacts is not possible. I have enabled offline usage of google calendar but it doesn't seem to work.

I didn't reproduce the bug 353095, so I presume it is fixed.

Confirm this bug in Karmic (Evolution 2.28.1). The offline-use option doesn't work for google calendar and contacts.

Steps to reproduce:
1) add a google calendar or contacts to evolution
2) Use the work offline option for both of them
3) make the first sync
4) Exit Evolution and reboot the system
5) Open the Evolution and check the adress book or calendar.
6) get the error for loading the google adress book (can't find the URL) and the calendars will be inactive without any possibility to turn them on while offline.
