Description Scott Kitterman 2011-08-03 23:10:47 UTC
Version:           1.99.0 (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

The account configuration wizard will alway retain focus.  This means that when kwallet pop-ups or SSL error confirmation dialogues pop-up they are difficult to access with plasma-desktop and impossible to access with plasma-netbook.  This did not happen with kdepim 4.4.

The default windeco for netbooks maximizes all windows and it is neither possible to shrink the configuration wizard nor to alt-tab to the kwallet access request that is behind it (even if you use present windows and click on the kwallet dialogue, the mail configuration window still ends up on top.

This makes kmail almost unusable on netbooks.  The only way I've found to do it is switch to plasma-desktop, configure kmail, and then switch back.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
On a fresh install with no kmail accounts configured, run a plasma-netbook session, start kmail and then try to configure it.

Actual Results:  
Mail accounts not set up in akonadi because I couldn't give akonadi permission to access the wallet.  Once I managed to get the dialogue accepted, but I'm not quite sure how.

Expected Results:  
Accounts set up and working kmail.

OS: Linux (i686) release 3.0.0-7-generic
Compiler: gcc

Note: I'm marking this major because although it doesn't cause data loss, it makes it pretty impossible to actually get to your data and use it.  Without that an MUA is pretty pointless.

This bug has only been reported for versions older than KDEPIM 4.14 (at most akonadi-1.3). Can anyone tell if this bug still present?

If noone confirms this bug for a recent version of akonadi (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.
