Description Benjamin 2009-02-28 09:29:24 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 3.5.10)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

I have multiple E-mail accounts that I manage with Kmail, occasionally I notice that I sent an E-mail from the wrong address, so no real damage has be done but I worry it might one day, I'd like a preventative measure that can warn me if it looks like I'm about to send an e-mail from the wrong address.

How it could work:
The first time you send an E-mail to an address Kmail remembers the account you sent from.
If you send another e-mail to that address useing a different account Kmail asks you if your sending from the right account, you then have the following options:
Send anyway,
Add the account to the list for the address your sending too.
Replace the original account with this one for that address. 
Cancel and choose the correct address.

Do you know that kmail has the ability to filter messages and put them in different folders?. And that you can configure every folder to use a default account to manage the mails in that folder?
Using these features, I guess you do not need the warning message.

That's what I do already, it works most of the time but in a few cases I have used the wrong account due to human error, that's why I'd like something like I proposed in this wishlist.

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.
