hi,
i've started these days to use kmail and i've found it very interesting, congratulation for your great work. anyway, i've found a bug in sending e-mails with a different smtp account other than the first configured. i've noticed that action made throught the button to send e-mails that allows to use another smtp account is ignored and it is used always the first. it is very annoying because i'm subrscribed to various mailing list and i cannot partecipate to them.  thank you

cheers,
Marcello

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. configure the first smtp account
2. configure the second smtp account (i've used another provider)
3. write an e-mail
4. push the button to send the e-mail using the preferred smtp account

Actual Results:  
impossibile to send e-mails (the e-mail is sent using the first account)

Expected Results:  
send the e-mail use the correct selected smtp account

Comment 1 marcello 2010-05-30 12:12:47 UTC

another information: kmail uses always the DEFAULT (preferred) smtp account, the first configuration isn't considerable.

hi thomas, i'm sorry if i have added you to CC list but this bug prevents me to use kmail, i really need to resolve it. thanks

Comment 3 Thomas McGuire 2010-06-02 14:04:06 UTC

Don't add me to the CC list, I already receive these bug mails.

Sending with different outgoing accounts work for me, I use View->Mailtransport in the composer for that.

Comment 4 marcello 2010-06-02 16:10:53 UTC

in the composer there are no entries about outgoing accounts. 

i set them up throught (it can slightly be different 'cause i'm italian) Configure KMail -> Accounts -> sendings. 

unfortunately, i can't choose to send an e-mail with the not-default account : (


please, i need some help!!!

> in the composer there are no entries about outgoing accounts. 

In the composer, check the View menu, there you can enable setting outgoing accounts, with View->Mailtransport.

Comment 6 marcello 2010-06-07 15:24:18 UTC

thank you thomas, but the problem persists. it is a real issue, i first used the option in the send button, but even using the option you suggested me the issue occurs the same: kmail uses tiscali.it as mailtransport, but if i go to outoging mail i note that the sender is "name@alice.it" and not "name@tiscali.it", this is a strange behaviour and problably the cause of the issue. 

this is the error i receive:
smtp.tiscali.it: Socket operation timed out
[cut]
It has been used this transport:
 Tiscali.it

Comment 7 marcello 2010-06-19 16:00:01 UTC

i have some news: i've created 2 identities with 2 special mailtransport; the first account (Alice) has out.alice.it as special mailtransport, while the second one (Tiscali) has smtp.tiscali.it as special mailtransport. Now, using the second identity the e-mail sender is correct (name@tiscali.it) and the mailtransport the same, but the problem persists. maybe it can be a configuration issue? there is a way to understand if is the configuration wrong? i'm using:

- no encryption
- authentication requested
- record password
- authentication method: login


cheers,
Marcello
