Description Ritesh Raj Sarraf 2009-08-17 13:28:48 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

When using the Akonadi Google data resources, it gives a very wrong message.

The window says "Use Google ID". "@gmail.com" domain will be appened automatically.

I'm not sure if you are appending that or not. If you are, you might be wrong. Because there will be many users like me, who use Google Apps, to host their own domains.
For us, the user id is: "user@domain.com"

Attached is the screenshot of the problem.

This is a left over from the time where the resource (and libgcal) only supported gmail.com accounts.

At the time of KDE 4.3 release, I was not allowed to change the strings in the resource thanks to translation work.

I guess now the string can be changed to something better (i.e. "hosted accounts please insert domain name").

The GUI I think should be in two ways.
First, user should enter full e-mail address (if in gmail, mail@gmail.com is needed).
Another way the title should be like: Your Google mail username (@gmail.com will be appended if needed). So if I enter non-email, only username, try @gmail.com, try full text in the field as login instead. Like a Google has.

The UI string has been changed in Akonadi Googledata 1.2.0. While waiting for an update to the Debian package, you can get the newer version from packages.ubuntu.com.
Comment 9 Denis Kurz 2016-09-24 20:35:40 UTC 
This bug has only been reported for versions older than KDEPIM 4.14 (at most akonadi-1.3). Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a recent version of akonadi (part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Comment 10 Denis Kurz 2017-01-07 21:37:47 UTC 
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
