I've always used the native email client on my Mac, but they've taken away the ability to work offline in Mail. My work email requires a VPN, which I don't want to run all of the time.

So, if I'm using my computer with no VPN, my email consistently errors out. Even if I disable the account, there's still something in the background checking for new email, and then erroring out. I used to just click on the mailbox and then select "take account offline." That is no longer even an option. To prevent it from checking for new messages, I would have to delete the mailbox completely. That's not something I want to do every time I need to use my own computer for personal use.

I'm thinking of switching to Thunderbird as my email client, which I have to get permission to do for that account... I wanted to find out before I jump through too many hoops if Thunderbird still allows you to work with an account offline?

I bought a little honey sampler in Belize. (I live here.) There's one tiny container from each of four regions of the country: Corozal, Maya Mountains, Camalote and Belize City. They each have a distinct flavor and color, but the one labeled Maya Mountains is dark and tastes like molasses. I'm just wondering if it would be possible that a honey could taste like molasses, or if it's likely a fake?

Of the others, the Corozal and Camalote honeys are light and floral. The Belize City tastes good, but almost rum-like, not like alcohol, though, if that makes sense.

I asked the seller. They messaged and gave me the spiel that it's all dependent on what the bees are pollinating, which I already knew. I was just hoping, she'd tell me what the bees were up to in the Maya Mountains! She knew, for example, that the bees in Camalote are currently pollinating a lot of gumbo limbo trees. She wasn't sure what the bees from the Maya Mountains might be pollinating, but she mentioned the area's pine trees. (And, if it's relevant, Belize has had catastrophic fires in its Mountain Pine Ridge area over the last few years.)

Does anyone know if honey from bees pollinating pine would taste like molasses, or did the maker simply "supplement" their honey with molasses? Thoughts?

Work offline?
