Version: (using KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: SuSE RPMs for example "work online". Reason: a) it is easier to navigate for user, if users select option X, she/he then looks for option X to turn the feature off, but when the text is change there is no longer option X, there is option Y -- it takes more time to read and ensure that this is counterpart of the original option a.1) it is not always 100% clear what the negation of the option will be b) it adds unnecessary amount of work/resources to translate menus c) it makes working in multilingual environment harder (one computer in english, second in polish) because of doubled text e) it is visually easier to read what is on/off when you see checkbox f) UI should be consistent within KDE --> checkboxes KDE4 live does not contain kmail, so I am sorry if this has been already fixed.
IMHO agree 100% that checkboxes are more obvious than changing the menu text, but usability opinion is divided and the preference seems to be as currently implemented. See for example the thread at http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-usability&m=111216845819500&w=2
Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented. Thank you for your understanding.
Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
