Description Manny 2015-10-28 17:27:36 UTC

I can't send messages to localhost, the composer complains that
there is no recipient. Apparently because of the absence of a '.' in the
address. The old kmail worked fine sending to  manny@localhost


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try sending a message via the localhost transport to somebody@localhost



Actual Results:  
Get error message, 'no recipient'

Expected Results:  
manny@localhost should be a fine address.

Workaround is to use a proper name or numeric address, e.g. 127.0.0.1

This bug has never been confirmed for a Kontact version that is based on KDE Frameworks, except possibly a Technology Preview version 5.0.x. Those versions differ significantly from the old 4.x series. Therefore, I plan to close it in around two or three months. In the meantime, it is set to WAITINGFORINFO to give reporters the opportunity to check if it is still valid. As soon as someone confirms it for a recent version (at least 5.1, ideally even more recent), I'll gladly reopen it.

Please understand that we lack the manpower to triage bugs reported for versions almost two years beyond their end of life.

Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.1 aka 15.12, preferably more recent), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
