Description medin 2021-03-24 20:54:34 UTC

When a new message arrives, a notification appears with Open mail action, if I click on it then two windows will be opened, one is kmail main window and the second is the one containing the content of the arrived message, It would great if open mail action could open the content of the newly arrived inside main kmail window instead of viewing it in new one.

Hi,
For me it's not a good idea, you read an email, you see a new email arrived you  click on it it will replace your existing email switch folder etc.

Really not user friendly.
regards

If I click on Open mail then my intention is to read its content and discard the current view in main window, if you don't want to lost your current view then don't click on notification. The real problem is when Kmail is not started, Open mail action will opens two windows one with mail content and the other main window which has no use.
