I like Kmail, but its not easy to setup gmail, and because many people use gmail, i would like to see a gmail setup, even my iphone has that.

I guess you also request a yahoo mail setup, and a hotmail setup, that are also very widely used.

I prefer that Google (and Yahoo and Microsoft) include instructions of how to configure kmail in their web mails pages, just like they do for other mail clients.

In any case, it is up to the developers to implement this feature request.

It can't be hard to do an

if (gmail){incoming = imap.gmail.com; outgoing=smtp.gmail.com}
ifelse (yahoo){ etc.....

This would really improve the usability of Kmail. People should be able to set up their account without visiting external resources. It's one of the reasons we have GUI's these days.....

AFAIK Kmail2 did the job better (usabilitywise) before the rewrite of the wizard. Now noobs have to choose between POP3 and IMAP and such.

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.

it's already possible with accountwizard. It uses thunderbird database for it.
