[Users] claws waits forever, freezes grafik on slower networks

[clawsmail at pasdzierny.de]

the dialog says:  Error: connection to pop.gmx.net:110 failed

and offers 'close' or 'view log'


as long as the GUI still reacts i can display the log: see attachment.

BTW: I increased those timeout values => no change

I should note that while claws is not reacting anymore i still can open
other websites using firefox etc. 
Due to the poor bandwith that works slowly, but it works.

And I can easily fetch mails using at the same with my accounts using my
smartphone and k9mail.

A typical scenario is WiFI at 'Deutsche Bahn' or a mobile network on the
countryside of bavaria ;)

When using tethering via smartphone I can trigger the problem turning
of the smartphones network. Linux stills sees some network, then.

If I reconnect the smartphone all other apps on linux get their network
back, but claws remains frozen.

HTH, Martin.
