Version: (using KDE 4.2.2) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages In the properties of a folder, you can choose under "Show column" between "Default", "Sender", "Receiver". As far as I can tell, "Default" always means "Receiver". I guess a more reasonable behavior would be that the default would be equivalent to "Sender" if the folder is used to store sent messages. (KMail evidently detects the sent mail folders correctly, because it applies different icons to them.) Otherwise, what is the purpose of "Default" anyway?
Confirmed with current trunk (r956772) for outbox and sent-mail folders. Regression from KDE 3.
AFAICS, the behaviour is wrong only for the 'sent' folders. Changing the title.
Created attachment 34557 [details] fix against trunk kdepim/kmail Problem was, that if the user set Default in "Sender/Receiver column" the whoField isn't initialized correctly on kmail startup.
