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. Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2. |
Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages People I work with have no idea what those crazy undeliverable reports mean, so I get asked to sift through them to work out if it means the email account just doesn't exist any more, if their mailbox is full, if the address flat out didn't work, and so on. It would be very nifty indeed if KMail could understand and explain a host of common errors, either by formatting and highlighting so the crucial little bit of text is obvious, or better by displaying a human-readable explanation above the email text that refers to the text below. For example, rather than having this underneath a load of other text: madeup@uidaho.edu on 22/10/2007 11:37 The e-mail system was unable to deliver the message, but did not report a specific reason. Check the address and try again. If it still fails, contact your system administrator. < thmailsite3.services.byworkwise.com #5.0.0 smtp; 550 5.0.0 <madeup@uidaho.edu>... User unknown> Kmail would say: "Your email couldn't be delivered. It looks like that user doesn't exist on the uidaho.edu server." Or something better :)
