Description Jeremy 2012-03-05 19:56:05 UTC

When setting up email for the first time in KMail it askes you your name and email and then goes to create a mail folder that does absolutly nothing that I've noticed. I then proceeded to look up my gmail imap settings. To most people this may seem like a daunting task just to get email to work.

I like thunderbird in the way it just works by going out and finding your email provider settings. It just works. I love integrated apps and I will still use KMail but just a suggested to help the usability and friendliness of KDE. 

Thanks.

It works fine.
it will search in https://live.mozillamessaging.com/autoconfig/v1.1/<provider name>
or as thunderbird in http://autoconfig.<provider name>/mail/config-v1.1.xml

Perhaps your provider is not defined here. Don't know.
Perhaps your email is not standard we use <provider name> to search it.

ok google is stupid it redirect "http://gmail.com/.well-known/autoconfig/mail/config-v1.1.xml" which define to seach default config to own page... 
Will fix it by search first in mozilla and after local info
