Description Salvatore Brigaglia 2008-12-17 11:59:21 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

it would be nice to add a button in the identities settings main dialog to give the possibility to "Ask every time" instead to be forced to have one default identity. 

It happend that when you have many identities some messages are sent with the wrong one causing confusion to the receivers. this will avoid to send a message with the wrong identity.

Isn't "View/Identity" in the composer window already doing what you expect ? 
Comment 2 Salvatore Brigaglia 2008-12-17 12:55:56 UTC
nope. It just came up with the default identity, and i allways forget to change it when it's needed.
What i would like to see is the possibility to make kmail ask at every new message (not a reply, where kmail behave beautyfully) which identity to use. This will avoid inattentive users like me to send mails with the wrong identity.

At the very least there should be a "create new message using querried identity" and "reply using querried identity" Items on the "message" menu.

This would allow me to send one message from one of my identities (that is tentacles), without having to remember to switch my default identity back later.

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.
