Comment 4 for bug 832660

I am seeing this to. Whenever I start kmail, the Akonadi mail dispatcher is offline, even though fetching mail works fine and the network is up and running (in NetworkManager). Forcing the dispatcher online with akonadiconsole works around the problem until next session login. I have not figured out why the mail dispatcher starts offline.

In this case, I have a fresh Kubuntu 11.10 install, so it is _not_ a kmail2 migration issue.
