[MlMt] logic of offline behavior

[Zvi Biener]

Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know/can explain the logic of the "offline" designation of 
sources?

Occasionally, some of my account go "offline". I only realize this a day 
or two after the fact, usually. My sources are effectively hidden below 
a large list of mailboxes, and I only realize that they are offline when 
I imagine that I should have received more mail than I have. Many times, 
I see the sources try to go online whenever the network is up, but in 
some cases they just don't. If I understand the logic, perhaps I can see 
when I need to check/not check. Importantly, this often applies only to 
gmail accounts.

Thanks,
Zvi
