Description Alexander Wauck 2012-06-22 22:32:10 UTC 
The default is for KMail to produce a notification message when an email is successfully sent.  I would argue that this is a bad default, since when the average person clicks "Send", they expect that the email will be sent.  There is no need to notify the user in this manner upon success.

If this is the default because it can sometimes take a while for messages to be sent, then the notification should be suppressed if the message is successfully sent within a certain amount of time (suggestion: 5 seconds).  Take care that entering GPG or mail server passwords does not count toward this time limit.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send an email.
2. Wait for notification to pop up in desktop's notification area
Actual Results:  
Notification pops up.

Expected Results:  
Nothing

So configure->configure notification->sender->disable notification about mail success send

Fixed :)

Laurent, I know how to get rid of the notification.  My point is that it's a stupid default.  Seriously, for most people, this is a classic "cool story, bro" notification, and it makes the use of KMail more obnoxious than it needs to be, especially because the message sticks around in the notifications list until you click the X on it.  The current default would be OK if the notification didn't stick around like that, I suppose.

For you it's stupid not for me.
So by default it will keep as it.
