Describe the solution you'd like
Instead it would be nice to communicate more understandably what the problem might be. For example like this:
Unable to open message, please check your connection

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the Nextcloud Mail web interface: go offline, then open a message and inspect where the technical error is presented. Done means the offline failure shows an understandable connection message such as “Unable to open message, please check your connection” instead of the current technical information.
