(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kmail Version: KDE 3.0.3 Severity: normal Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc 2.95.3 OS: Linux OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified Kmail refuses to send mail if the Default identity is blank. The error it gives is: Please set the required fields in the identity settings: user-name and email-address I wasn't using the default ID at the time and as soon as I filled out the default all my ID's worked. (Submitted via bugs.kde.org)
Note though that an easy work-around exists, just put in anything in those fields of the default identity, the checking will accept them, and still the selected identity will be used. Jarl
This annoyance is also present in the current development version of KMail.
Subject: Re: Cannot send mail if Default identity is blank, even if it is not the ID being used This bug has been fixed in cvs for KDE 3.1.
