Description Sputnik 2007-08-12 11:31:34 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.6)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

In Systemsettings there should be a third possibility to choose a mail client.

This could be to choose between "kmail", "webmail" or "other" possibilities to handle email in KDE. - A small wizzard should help to set the right mail hoster for webmail.

There is a good solution that also seems to work in Konqueror as well by Scott Severance. ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=398974 )

However there should be some kind of guarantee that the system is connected with the net. If a mail would be prepared while being offline it should be possible to rest waiting. - This should be a task for kmail again!

I open this whish for "Systemsettings". There is already a discussion for the kmail-people - but it has less to do with kmail but more with kcontrol and systemsettings...

I don't think this is really possible. Webmail clients are innumerate and unique. We can't add individual support for every single one, sorry. It's just too enormous a task.
