For clarity, "a wizard" is NOT my request (I dislike such things intensely). As stated, I prefer an implementation analogous to the existing Add Account dialog, viz. do not require the name before presenting the settings dialog. I definitely do NOT want the typical bazillion one-at-a-time questions of "a wizard"; I just want a dialog in which the relevant information can be entered, but without having to supply a name before doing so. Moving to developers, but I see that the default widget in that dialog is the "New Identity" box. I guess you are suggesting that the new identity name could be entered: * at the General tab as the default box, or * at the end, in a third dialog, after all the data has been filled By the way, you have to enter all your account info in kde4 because the distribution chooses $HOME/.kde4 to save kde4 configuration and $HOME/.kde to save kde3 configuration. Either would work (name need not be the *default* box). ------------------ It's frequently unclear which aspects of issues are inflicted by the distribution vs. version changes. And it's unclear whether or not the format of the kmailrc file across versions is forward- and/or backward-compatible (i.e. whether or not it can be copied or linked between KDE3 and KDE4 configuration directories). 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. |
