Description Daniele Medri 2003-08-31 09:50:28 UTC
Version:           1.5.3 (using KDE 3.1.3)
Installed from:     (3.0)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-3-686

Email isn't usefull only to itself, but could be usefull transport agent for other external applications. I'm thinking to Knights, a chess app, that could attach by mail a .pgn file to play chess-match. Could be usefull for that, and others, a class/method that check existing mail account to send, show a dialog that ask if use these o create a new one.

External applications can already send mail with KMail via DCOP. I don't 
understand why the external application should be able to check 
existing mail accounts. The external application shouldn't care about 
accounts because KMail will take care of this.

ad a) Well, if KMail isn't installed then we, the KMail developers, 
can't do much. I don't know what you expect. Of course, the external 
application has to show an error message if sending through KMail fails 
(for whatever reason).

ad b) KMail could provide a wizard. But this is completely unrelated to 
your original wish (and IIRC there's already a wish for a wizard).

Since it's already possible to send mail with KMail from external 
applications via DCOP I close your wish.
