Description Roland Wolters 2008-05-27 00:59:30 UTC

Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

The configuration window of kmaiL's IMAP server configuration is far too large: it cannot be used on a 1024x768 screen, not to mention 800x600. See the attached screenshot.

While experienced users do know that such windows can be moved with the help of the Alt key, but that can hardly be expected from normal users. Also, I guess from an usability point of view configuration windows larger than, say, 800x600 are problematic. Even then, 800x600 could be too large since there are almost always panels...

The virtual machine runs at a resolution of 1024x768.
