When entering (or deleting) a character in the recipient field of the composer dialog, I get a message box saying: "We can not add more recipients. We have reached maximum recipients". Could this happen because I have nepomuk disabled? I tried to enable it and restarted kmail, but the indexer stalled at 0% so I aborted. Reproducible: Always
How many address do you have ? you can specify it in settings->editor->general -> maximum recipient...
Interesting. For some reason this config value got set 1 (I never changed it). It reproducibly shows the error message when entering the last allowed (as specified in the config dialog) address. So when setting maximum recipients to 3 I can enter 2 addresses but get the error message when entering the third.
Daniel, thank you for your report. Can you still reproduce it with KMail from KDEPIM 4.14 or even 15.08? Please reopen if you can, state your version number and describe the exact steps to reproduce it. Specifically I am not aware of any configuration options to set the maximum number of recipients. Please tell where you found it. Thank you, Martin
I wasn't able to install kdepim 15.08 but I could still reproduce it with 4.14.9 and 4.14.10. I guess I don't understand why this option exists in the first place. As I wrote in a commend above, the config value changed to 1 without me (intentionally) doing it. And 1 is far too low, the standard seems to be 200. Plus there seems to be an additional bug since the error message appears when entering the last possible email address. (My guess is that this is because kmail immediately adds another input field for an additional email address when the user starts to enter an email address.) I made two screen shots: The first shows the config option in question - marked with a red border. The second shows the error message and the composer in the background with 2 of the 3 allowed email addresses entered without any error; but entering the first character of the third email address triggers the error message.

This bug has never been confirmed for a Kontact version that is based on KDE Frameworks, except possibly a Technology Preview version 5.0.x. Those versions differ significantly from the old 4.x series. Therefore, I plan to close it in around two or three months. In the meantime, it is set to WAITINGFORINFO to give reporters the opportunity to check if it is still valid. As soon as someone confirms it for a recent version (at least 5.1, ideally even more recent), I'll gladly reopen it. Please understand that we lack the manpower to triage bugs reported for versions almost two years beyond their end of life.
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.1 aka 15.12, preferably more recent), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
