Description Peter Gückel 2009-01-12 03:03:46 UTC

Version:           1.11.0 (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

After composing an email and clicking the send button, the email goes into outbox, then is moved to inbox instead of to sent-mail folder, making it impossible to know that the mail was actually sent. I then click on the copy in inbox and click resend and this time it goes to the outbox, then to sent-mail. As a result, I have unwittingly sent 2 copies of my mail for quite a few weeks. This problem has existed since at least kde-4.1.2 or 4.1.3.

I have a number of identities, each with a separate inbox that is a sub-directory of the main inbox. I have checked the properties of each identity and sent mail is correctly directed to the sent-mail folder.

I should add that the problem appears to only occur with reply to, reply to mailing list, but not with a standard send.

Also, I should add that quotes are not handled at all. I have smart quotes enabled (tried disabling, too), but whole messages or highlighted text portions are never quoted.

I am using html mail, but I also tried (briefly) setting html to off and didn't notice any change in these problems.

Please, only one bug in each bugreport !!!

For the first one, please check that you do not have checked the option "keep replies in this folder" in the folder where your replies go (right click in the folder).

If it is the case, please close this bugreport as invalid.

The quotes is another bug (already reported).
