Description Maciej Pilichowski 2010-05-13 21:29:21 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.4.3)

This report is not about errors while processing data in Kmail. This report is about showing the error dialogs to users.

I upgraded to KDE4.4.3 and when I hit "send" I get error stating there was a problem. Period. A problem. Now, user as a good magician should pull out his/her magical wand and guess what kind of error:
* misformed address?
* no connection?
* authorization failure?

Who knows.

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.
