Description Pedro Amaral Couto 2009-11-23 23:59:25 UTC 
Version:           1.11.4 (using KDE 4.2.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Slackware Packages

This is a usability bug.

When I tried to send an email message for the first time, I got this error message: "Please create an account for sending and try again".

I understand this happens if there is not an Outgoing Account and I understood what I had to do, but I thought I had lost the message I've written and I believe other users ("newbs") would be clueless and ask for help.

I think it would be better if there was that warning message before writing any message with a button to create an Outgoing Account.

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.
