Description Jos Geluk 2011-01-31 23:44:29 UTC 
Version:           1.13.5 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

I installed Jovie (text-to-speech software) in order to get a spoken notification of incoming mail. I turned it on by checking the box in my Kmail account settings. After I got bored with text-to-speech, I unchecked the box, but that didn't work: incoming messages would still be read. Then I uninstalled Jovie. That removed the check box from the account settings, but KMail still tries to activate the text-to-speech system for every incoming mail, which leads to an annoying error message. The message reads: "Couldn't find kttsd service - Failed to start Jovie text-to-speech service" (my translation).
I can find no mention at all of text-to-speech settings in any KMail  or KDE configuration dialog or file. How do I turn off the error messages?

I should add that the other actions specified for incoming mail are correctly executed as specified on the Accounts dialog.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Start KMail and wait for incoming message. 

Actual Results:  
Error message mentioned above will appear.

Expected Results:  
No error message should appear.

Comment 1 Jos Geluk 2011-02-01 23:07:02 UTC 
OK, I managed to get rid of the error messages by manually editing .kde/share/config/kmail.notifyrc. But I should think there ought to be a GUI function for this.

I can't reproduce
for me it's fixed.
I close it
