My wording was not corret. It connects and tries to login.

This is what happens:

1. activate offline mode. The dialogue appears "Do you want to
synchronise folders now?" - 'No', I want to enable offline mode, dammit.

2. select a folder. the network log reads:

It tries three times to login, shows a password dialogue and gives up.

Yes. (Whatever 'only' is supposed to mean here.)

Thanks!
