I sent an email from my default identity with my default From address. The signature was correct and the sent email shows the correct From address. However, the copy of the sent email was stored to another IMAP Sent folder belonging to a secondary Identity. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Send an email from the default identity. Actual Results: Usually the email is saved to the Sent folder associated with that Identity. But this time it was saved to a sent folder on a different IMAP associated with a different identity. Expected Results: Sent email should always be saved to the correct sent folder.
I can confirm this bug. In my opinion it's reason is, that when you chose "sticky" next to the identity field in a message-compose-window, the option for the folder to store the snet mail is taken from the chosen folder in the folder list. The same as the identity would be chosen from too if there wasn't set the sticky checkbox.
Stefan: which exact version is this you confirm that bug with?
I thought it was 4.8.3 - same as the o.p. -, but I was wrong, it is 4.8.4. My system is instead kubuntu 12.04. Sorry for the lack of information.
Thank you for the feedback.
I am running 4.8.5 on Opensuse. I have a sent folder for each IMAP account, which each has a unique identity. Sometimes when I send mail, the sent mail will appear in the local kmail sent folder rather than on the IMAP account. I think this often happens when closing kmail while a compose window is open, then restarting kmail and sending the email.
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 kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 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.
