Description Christian (Fuchs) 2010-12-09 18:33:30 UTC

Version:           2.0 beta1 (using KDE 4.5.85) 
OS:                Linux

When trying to write a new mail via kmail --composer  (e.g. in a mailto:/ link) a warning is displayed, telling the user that kmail/kontact is already running. 

The behaviour until now was that this indeed happens when you try to start kmail twice, but not when you just want to compsoe a new mail with the --composer method. 

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Have kmail open in the background, try to write a new mail with kmail --composer

Actual Results:  
warning is displayed

Expected Results:  
user is able to write a new mail

Works fine here.
Don't have a warning.

Ciao,

Same issue here.

If Kontact is open and a mailto link is clicked on elsewhere (Firefox, ksnapshot, etc) a warning dialog opens, telling the user that kmail/kontact is already running.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Have Kontact open in the background, try to write a new mail from mailto link.

Actual Results:  
warning is displayed

Expected Results:  
user is able to write a new mail
