Description Dennis Schridde 2017-10-12 09:03:24 UTC 
When entering nothing into the To field when composing a new email, and then clicking Send, KMail will do nothing.  The email will not be sent (the reasons for which are obvious, I agree), but it will also not display any kind of error message.  This can confuse users.

Version: 5.6.1 (cannot be selected in KDE Bugzilla)
Package-Version: 4:17.08.1-0neon+16.04+xenial+build31

There is a dialogbox but there is a checkbox in this dialogbox which allows to not display it...
I think that you clicked on it long time ago :)
Comment 2 Dennis Schridde 2017-10-12 09:42:42 UTC 
That must have been by accident or it applied to a different situation back the.  (Will that box e.g. be triggered, when selecting a CC but no To?)  Is it possible to reactivate these dialogue boxes?  Would it be possible to entirely replace the dialogue box with something non-intrusive that cannot be (but also does not need to be, because it is non-intrusive) disabled for all future?
Comment 3 Laurent Montel 2017-10-12 10:17:46 UTC 
Indeed I need to look at how to make it better.
I will investigate it.

Don't use checkbox in this dialogbox otherwise we can't know why message is not send.

Comment 5 Dennis Schridde 2017-11-29 10:12:59 UTC 
This is still an issue in KMail 5.6.3 (4:17.08.3-0neon+16.04+xenial+build35).
Comment 6 Laurent Montel 2017-11-29 11:42:24 UTC 
Fixed in 5.7.0. Now we don't have checkbox in this dialogbox so we must see the dialogbox.

Regards

When will KMail 5.7.0 be available on KDE neon User LTS?
Comment 8 Laurent Montel 2017-11-29 13:49:22 UTC 
5.7.0 will release in 2 weeks so I think that it will put on repo after that.
