Description John Gorkos 2011-11-03 13:13:02 UTC
Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

All of my kmail IMAP accounts stopped working, so in a fit of frustration, I deleted all configuration files and akonadi databases (~/.config/akonadi, all kmail2rc and kmail2 and akonadi* files under ~/.kde).

Starting from scratch, I start kmail, get a prompt to create an account and cancel out of that because my IMAP provider cannot be autoconfigured.  I then select Settings->Configure Kmail, Accounts, and Add... a new IMAP account.  The account is created, but I am unable to "Modify..." it.  Clicking on modify does absolutely nothing, save for this message in the console window:
Known subscriber "akonadi_imap_resource_0" subscribes again

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
rm -Rf ~/.config/akonadi/
rm -Rf .kde/share/config/akonadi*
rm -Rf .kde/share/config/kmail2rc

Start kmail from command line, click "Cancel" on Account Assistant
Click Settings->Configure Kmail, go to Accounts tab, receiving, and Add.. an Imap account.


Actual Results:  
After "adding" an account, a new "IMAP Account 1" entry appears in the account list, with the notation "No server configured yet."  Clicking Modify..., or double clicking on the entry itself, yields no result.

Expected Results:  
I expect to be able to manually configure my account and set up my server, username and password, security settings, etc.
