Version: 1.12.2 (using 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2), Mandriva Linux release 2010.0 (Cooker) for x86_64) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31.5-desktop-1mnb Send Queued Messages button and menu items do not work after the first time you send email after loading Kmail unless you navigate to the outbox. To duplicate the error: 1: Load Kmail 2: Highlight inbox (or any other folder) 3: Compose an email 4: Queue the email to send later 5: Notice Send Queued Messages button is active. Press it. 6: Compose another email 7: Queue the email to send later 8: Notice Send Queued Messages button is *not* active. 9: Go to outbox 10: Notice Send Queued Messages button is active now. The same behavior holds true of the menu items File > Send Queued Messages and File > Send Queued Messages Via. This bug has existed for years. There was a bug report previously but I didn't find it so I'm submitting this new one. V-
You can trigger this even if you don't directly queue to send later. I'm copying this from ubuntu bug 511524: Steps to reproduce this problem: 1. Put your network in some state where you can't send email (e.g., disconnect from the cable or wireless). 2. Compose a message to yourself and send it. After a while you will get the dialog saying the message can't be sent, and will be placed in your outbox 3. Under the file menu, you will now see that "Send queued messages" and "Send queued messages via..." will be enabled. If, at this point, you chose one of them, everything would be fine. 4. However, in this case don't do it right away: navigate to another folder, read some messages, etc. 5. Now check the file menu again: "Send queued messages" and "Send queued messages via..." will now be greyed out, even though that message is still queued in your outbox. You can send the message by selecting your outbox, which will re-enable those two menu options. I would think that the proper behavior would be to enable "Send queued messages" and "Send queued messages via..." anytime there are messages waiting in your outbox.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report. KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2. We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
