Description stevep 2013-12-24 18:13:48 UTC

KMail replaces addresses of the form somename@singledomain (where singledomain is a single-label domain name - no dot) with a blank line. This is true for both To: and From: behavior. Thus "me@homenet" is replaced by a blank address. "me@homenet." will transport correctly, but this form of address is declared invalid for the home address configuration in an identity.

A current workaround is to use "homenet.local" as the domain name, but this requires modification of the MTA and should not be necessary.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Address an email to "friend@domain"
2.Press "Send"
3.
Actual Results:  
KMail responds "There were problems trying to queue the message for sending: Message has no recipients."

Expected Results:  
Normal queuing and transport.

This behavior doe not occur in 4.11

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.

This bug is present at least in
KMail Version 4.14.10
Using KDE Development Platform 4.14.16.

KMail 4.14 is the stable version in Gentoo, so it would be nice if it could be supported.

Rumor has it that KDE PIM 5.x will be stabilized in Gentoo before the end of the year. Gentoo is not the only distribution that still "supports" (read: offers) KDE PIM 4.14, though. Unfortunately, we simply don't have enough developers to fix bugs in versions other than the latest.
