during setup of Mailaccounts in Kmail2, the user gets no information, that he actually needs to have 1 identity per account. This leads to the impression: "1 user = 1 person = 1 identity". This, however, results in the issue, that the user tries to connect 2 or more existing Mailaccounts (at Google, Yahoo, wherever) with 1 identity in Kmail2. This again, leads to frustration on users side. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to set up Kmail2 for more than 1 mail account 2. try to connect 1 identity to 2 or more mail accounts 3. realise that this does not work Actual Results: no information during setup for the user, the user is left alone in the dark Expected Results: information of the user about special things to do when setting up Kmail2, respectively: Kmail2 does it on its own, automatically
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.
