I can confirm this bug. Actually there are two bugs: 1. The input for BCC and Reply-To is not validated at all - it should be valid or empty. 2. The identity's email address is correctly validated when hitting OK. However the error message gives no clue about which input is considered invalid, which is very confusing if another tab is active. Proposed solution: ad 1. Validate the input for BCC and Reply-To as well. ad 2. When validation fails, jump to the appropriate tab and highlight the respective field. (Isn't there something like a red error marking in the libs?). Please mark this one confirmed and http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=280151 a duplicate.

Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months. Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input. |
