Version: 2.1.1 (using KDE 4.6.4) OS: Linux After migration (very painful) to kmail2 I finally got it into usable state. Unfortunately it seems that either the migration failed or there are bugs in it - I need composer to insert specific header into every mail I send out and I would like to be able to append a picture defined in my identity. Unfortunately kmail2 won't do neither - options are there and they are set exactly as they were in previous version but mails are sent without extra header or picture attached. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: add custom header in settings->composer->headers and send mail Actual Results: no header is added Expected Results: header should be added OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.39-gentoo-r2 Compiler: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
I've just checked the kmail 4.6.1 sources and I found that while the configuration of extra headers (and picture) is there there is no code to add these additional headers to the message that is being created. Is it possibly corrected in newer version of kmail? If not is there any timeline for this? Without this kmail2 looses some crucial functionality for me...
I never use it. Will look at it soon
Picture is from identity ?
Yes. Picture from identity.
Ok X-Face is fixed in 4.6/4.7/master. Will look at extra header
Ok for the moment customheader is not implemented. I started to implement it.
Fixed in 4.7/master
I don't really think it's fixed. First I installed it from 4.7.0 Gentoo package - changes aren't there. The X-Face is added and sent but custom headers aren't. Next I cloned master from git and compiled kmail from it (using Gentoo ebuild - I copied cloned directories into Gentoo directory and compiled/installed using 4.7.0 ebuild) - it compiles fine but when I try to send a message with custom header I get this error in console: kmail: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libkmailprivate.so.4: undefined symbol: _ZN7Message16ComposerViewBase15setCustomHeaderERK4QMapI10QByteArray7QStringE Did I do something wrong or is it something with kmail?
gentoo package is not uptodate :) install all kdepim sources and not just kmail. and it will work.
Ok. This helped - it works now. Thanks. PS. I still think kmail in its current form is horribly broken comparing to the previous non-akonadi version :(

I know this is not the place for this but I'll write it anyway... I don't negate the need fot a change. A appreciate all the hard work that went into fixing bugs etc. I however am just a simple kmail user - I don't use other kdepim elements and after migration to kmail2 I can only say that it seems broken to me. It's terribly slow when opening folders, it does a lot of strange things previous version didn't (like strange artifacts when filtering messages, strange behaviour when opening folder (you never know at what end of messages list you will end), not marking new messages as new only as unread etc. etc. etc.). Most of this I can live with in hope it will improve in the future but as I used non-akonadi kmail for almost ten years I really am sad that great and fast program seem to have went back a few years. Sorry for the rant, but that's my opinion.
