Bug 82206

Version:           1.6.2 (using KDE 3.2.2,  (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 (Debian 20040401)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.22-xfs

Kmail is very flexible because of seperated Identites and Send/Receive Accounts. This is a pro, but can be a con when creating several accounts:

Most pop/smtp Mail services have the same access data for sending and receiving. But with kmail, I have to do these steps one after another:
- create identity
- create pop3-account (enter mailserver, username, password)
- create smtp-account (enter mailserver, username, password)
- set the corresponding account to be the default method for your identity

This can be very tirering - and this is my alternative idea:
-> invoke "Profile Pilote" to create new mail account
-> Enter your name and email address (for reply-to)
-> Select your email provider (gmx, hotmail, web.de, most used MSPs)
   (alternatively enter smtp/pop3 server manually)
-> enter username and password _once_
done.

This should be an optional additional way to create accounts.

Alternatively, I could imagine to have a button "copy smtp settings" in the pop3-setup (or vice versa) - but such a pilote (or wizzard) could be great for anybody choosing KDE applications for convenience.

Thank you
Respect
