Description Woodsman 2013-03-16 03:08:29 UTC

I receive a notification when receiving POP3 mail but never when I receive mail from my local system account. I have tested with both a sound file and the popup system.

As far as I can tell, notifications are global and should play for all received mail. I don't see any special notification configurations for local system mails.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send a message to the local mail box, such as:

echo "This is a test." | mail -s "Testing" root@localhost

2. Verify KMail2 show sthe message in the Local Account folder.

Actual Results:  
No notification is received.

Expected Results:  
A notification.

KDE 4.10.1

A work-around: create a filter to move the mail from the Local Account folder to the inbox.

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. 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.
