I agree with observation the settings dialog is not intuitive. Besides, the even doc does not help Special transport: "Select or enter an alternative SMTP server to be used when sending messages using this identity." I still don't know alternative TO WHAT is this special transport. In other words, when I leave it empty what happens? See also bug 149389.

In other > words, when I leave it empty what happens? It takes the transport of the default account. For example, you have two email accounts: yourname@foo.com and your.name@bar.com, with the first as default account. If you try to send an email with the second account and you haven't set the special transport option, you will have an error, because it tries to use your.name@bar.com as login name for the SMPT server of yourname@foo.com. It's quite a strange thing... Git commit a3c08bd37bd4dc009b871e038580dd26b302a869 by Montel Laurent. Committed on 27/04/2012 at 08:53. Pushed by mlaurent into branch 'master'. Better name M +1 -1 kmail/identitydialog.cpp http://commits.kde.org/kdepim/a3c08bd37bd4dc009b871e038580dd26b302a869 Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented. Thank you for your understanding. In KDE SC 4.8, the "Identities" item is still above the "Accounts" item in the KMail configuration dialog. P.S. In my opinion the order of these items is logical and should not be changes. |
