Bug Description

In gnome I selected option not to use proxy. However I still have proxy settings filled in. When I move my computer to environment where I need proxy I only switch form "none" to "manual" on proxy settings in gnome system settings.

Gmail watcher is obviously ignoring overall proxy settings. It always checks only for proxy settings even if the proxy policy is set to "none". In that case gmailwatcher tries to access mailbox via proxy which is wrong. I deleted proxy settings from "manual" proxy policy and then gmailwatcher was not able to use it and accessed mailbox correctly.

It is very inconvenient to delete all proxy settings every time when I am not connected via proxy. I only switch between "none", "manual" and "automatic". gmailwatcher should be aware of these settings and use proxy accordingly.

I have checked which settings should have been checked with gsettings utility.

gsettings get org.gnome.system.proxy.http host
gsettings get org.gnome.system.proxy.http port

The commands above may return proxy hostname and port although proxy mode is set to none which is indicated with the command below.

gsettings get org.gnome.system.proxy mode

If mode is 'none' proxy settings should be ignored.
