Checkboxes/ticks to disable/enable a server would be an entirely sensible (and
obvious) usability feature to add.
I certainly never would have guessed the '0' connection limit thing, if it
works that is. Deleting a server also means the entire newsgroup list has to
be downloaded again when the server is re-added, since Pan must simply delete
the list!
And syscntl tweaking could have undesired effects on other connections for
other apps and seems a bit crude.
So: two feature requests (could these be passed on?):
1. Checkboxes/ticks to disable/enable a server.
2. Confirmation dialog asking if all information about a server (including
group list) should be deleted if the server is removed from the server list.
If 1. got done that would probably be enough,
