KMail Version 1.13.7
Unter KDE 4.8.3 (4.8.3)

Hi, 

when my system boots it also loads KMail minimized to the control panel. When I click on the icon in the systemtray nothing will happen. I then also can not open KMail by clicking on the icon in the control panel. Instead I have to right click on the icon in the system tray and close KMail. Then I can start it again via the kmenu. (Sometimes I have to start it twice before it actually starts. But that doesn't depend on the other problem..)
When I click on the icon in the control panel first and then minimize it to the control panel (left of the three buttons) or systemtray (right of the three buttons, instead of closing the program..) there is no problem to restore  it from the systemtray. So the problem only exists at the first time. 
This happens every time I forget about it...

Hope this is helpfull

Regards, Thomas

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set KMail to be startet minimezed to systemtray at systemstart
2. click on the icon in the systemtray
3.
Actual Results:  
nothing happends..

Expected Results:  
to open (restore) KMail

each time I click on the icon in the systemtray the number of unread mails (if existing) disappears for a very short moment..

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.
