Description FranJPR 2009-09-22 16:31:45 UTC 
Version:           1.12.1 (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I have one identity and several outgoing accounts. If I send a message using an outgoing account different to the default one, the sent email archived gets the name of the identity but the email address of the default account, instead of the real outgoing account that has been used.

As a result of this bug, sent email has wrong information about the sender, and filters based on From field cannot be setup.

Thanks,

I don't understand this sentence:

the sent email archived gets the
name of the identity but the email address of the default account

Can you explain in more detail, please ?

I'll do my best,

when I configured Kmail,

for Identities:
I defined only one identity 'Fran', which must be set up with an email address, let's say 'f1@gmail.com'.

for Accounts:
Receiving accounts:
I defined 'f1@gmail.com' and 'f2@gmail.com'
Sending accounts:
I defined 'f1@gmail.com' and 'f2@gmail.com'

Then, if I send an email via f1@gmail.com, in sent-items folder I have the email sent with this heading:

From: Fran <f1@gmail.com> 
To:   whatever
Date: whatever

But, if I do not use the default account to send another email, if I use f2@gmail.com for example, in sent-items folder I have the email sent with this wrong heading:

From: Fran <f1@gmail.com> 
To:   whatever
Date: whatever

When the correct heading of the email should be:

From: Fran <f2@gmail.com>
To:   whatever
Date: whatever

Please, tell me if you need additional info.

Thanks,

The behavior is correct. It seems there is a misunderstanding:

you have only ONE identity: Fran <f1@gmail.com> 
Therefore this is the one which is used always in the From: header.

Try to rename your accounts not with the email address syntax will probably remove this confusion. The account name is not an email address (and not an identity)

If you want to have different identities, then you need to create these.
You can also define in the identity which transport to use (which outgoing account)

Yes, it was a misunderstanding, absolutely. I have already set up the identities, transports and accounts for each of them, and kmail works great.

Thanks!
