Description Ruchir Brahmbhatt 2009-04-04 17:36:21 UTC 
Version:           1.11.2 (using KDE 4.2.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open kmail.
2. Compose new mail.
3. Quit kmail.

Expected result:
kmail should exit and composer window should close.

Actual result:
kmail closed but composer window remained open. 

Also should it save mail as draft(if edited) before closing composer window?

I can confirm this behaviour. The composer windows remains open after closing kmail (incl. quitting the kmail tasktray icon).

I wrote an email and then saved it as draft in the single composer windows. This worked. My guess is that it's intended to work like this.
Comment 2 hyper_ch 2009-04-11 21:05:51 UTC 
I can even send email just from the composing window. It seems that is intended behaviour.

Also I was unable to run Kontact, open a composing window and then close Kontact without having the composing window being closed also. That's an inconsistency in behavious.

This is not a bug. The composer window is a separate process (otherwise, clicking on a mailto: link would launch KMail instead of a composer window)
