This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kontact (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months. Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input. |
Version: (using KDE 4.2.3) Compiler: cc OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-12-generic Installed from: Ubuntu Packages When creating new massage via menu of (choosing "New massage" there), the massage editor doesn't start with a general default identity, but with an identity set as default for the folder which was opened for the last time in KMail. For example, -- having two IMAP accounts with two identities for them (the one for the first IMAP as general default identity, the other as default for the second IMAP account) and a bunch of folders filtering mail from different POP3 accounts (with different identities associated with them) -- and choosing any mail folder X not associated with the general default identity (i.e. not the first IMAP), -- than closing even all Kontact's windows, still creating a new massage via KMail's system tray notifier/icon ("New massage"), the massage composer won't start with the general default identity (as in KDE 3.5 as far as I remember), but with the identity associated with folder X. That's evidently a bug, since if there is any sense in setting a general default identity, that's it: to be able to start quickly writing a massage with that general identity -- via system tray icon functionality -- which is very handy when having many identities (otherwise one must choose an identity from the list in the composer or navigate to an appropriate folder and start composing a massage from there).
