Description M G Berberich 2016-09-02 11:52:14 UTC

kmail misses the possibiliy to send mails via the local sendmail/MTA installation (mostly using /usr/lib/sendmail)
This is a regression.

Reproducible: Always

Seems to be a duplicate of Bug 358823, which is marked as WONTFIX.

I've also long used local postfix/sendmail as my MTA and was confused when this stopped working after upgrading KMail2.  It seems a lot of other people miss this feature (which is also present in other mail clients).  Any chances it will be restored?

Nope we removed it for kf5.

I consider this a misdetermination, and I’m quite sure, I’m not the only one doing so.
