Thunderbird CLI for Offline State Automation

[Chiramisudo]

I sometimes connect to public Wifi access points that I don't fully trust and don't feel comfortable syncing my email over. I would like write a script to put Thunderbird in an Offline state immediately upon connecting to one of these wireless Internet access points that I have identified as untrusted. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find an CLI option for this.

I think perhaps the simplest solution is to add an additional CLI option to switch Thunderbird to `--offline` mode. This option should ideally take into account whether Thunderbird is already running and switch it's mode to `--offline` or `--online`, as requested, and perhaps do nothing if it's not running, though and argument could certainly be made to launch it directly in Offline mode.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

Are you using the existing settings to start the application in a particular state or actually ask your preference?
