I had a setuped account.

I added a new disconnected imap account, then I added a new identity.

But when I got back in the account/advanced tab to change to this new identity only the default one was avaible in the select.

It require to save the panel completely, then re-open configure kmail panel.

You can just click "apply" after adding the identity. You don't have to save and close the panel completely.
(tested with kmail 1.11.90)

Parent is correct, hitting the apply button works. However, since the user already hits apply when creating the new identity, this action is not apparent, and is poor GUI design. It should be changed to refresh the list of available identities when a new one is added, without having to hit apply first.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2.

We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
