            Bug ID: 2883
           Summary: IMAP server accessed while sending news
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: 3.9.0
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: NNTP
          Assignee: users at lists.claws-mail.org
          Reporter: NMBooker at gmail.com

When I post news from an NNTP account on claws, it also tries to access my IMAP
server, and fails to send the news posting if it can't contact the IMAP server.

Example scenario

What I do
=========

IMAP server: mail.example.org
Private news server: news.example.org

The servers are independent so we can post information about either of them
being down, and use the other for other communication, if one of them is down.

mail.example.org is offline for whatever reason - perhaps it's being rebooted
to apply kernel updates.

Try to post a news posting to mycompany.infrastructure.announce specifying that
the mail server is being rebooted to apply updates.

What I expect to happen
=======================

News posting gets posted to the mycompany.infrastructure.announce newsgroup
without errors, as it's an independent server to the IMAP server.

What really happens
===================
Dialogue box saying the IMAP server couldn't be contacted.

click 'View Log':
'connection refused' message in the network log regarding connection to the
IMAP server.

Sorry can't post exact messages as my mail server has since come back up and
the log messages have scrolled off the top of the network log.



Any thoughts?
