Description Alexander Potashev 2011-06-22 20:39:11 UTC 
Version:           2.0.95 (using KDE 4.6.4) 
OS:                Linux

I have an Akonadi resource that handles both receiving and sending of message/rfc822 messages.
Firstly I added that resource using "System Settings -> Personal Information -> Akonadi Resources", so that I was able to read the messages from that resource in KMail.
Then I tried to add the same resource to KMail as mail transport (Configure KMail... -> Accounts -> Sending -> Add...). I worked, but now I have two identical resources running, I can see them in both SystemSettings and AkonadiConsole.

It would be nice if KMail could start using an already added Akonadi resource for sending.

P.S.: I could split the resource into two resources, i.e. one for sending and another for message retrieval. But they would need to share configuration options, and I'm not sure if that can be done easily.

Reproducible: Always

This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kdepim (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.08 or later), it gets closed in about three months.

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.
