Description Darius 2007-04-21 20:45:26 UTC
Version:           1.2.4 (using KDE 3.5.6, Kubuntu (feisty) 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu14)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.20-15-generic

Every time I try to send an email I get a message: 
'It's not possible to send messages without specifying a sender address. 
Please set the email address of identity 'Default' in the Identities section of the configuration dialogue and then try again.'

The problem is that I do specify a sender address as I normally do using any other email client. It seems that Kontact doesn't 'see' the email address I enter.

Can you attach a screenshot of the Settings->Configure KMail->Identitites->Modify->General dialog?
Comment 2 Darius 2007-04-23 14:54:13 UTC
There is my name and email address in General dialalog only.

Ok, can you attach you kmailrc (that file should be in $HOME/.kde/share/config)?
Make sure to remove any passwords in there (if any) before attaching.

And please do not use e-mail to add comments to the bug system, use the webinterface. This avoids useless clutter (see above).

I can not reproduce, and the reporter did not specify a way to reproduce either.
