What should be seen is that the sent email based on a template should be stored in the accounts configured "Sent Items" folder. Always producible except possibly for the very first email attempt to prove. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a default account where the sent items are stored on IMAP 2. Create a template 3. Open template, edit and send Actual Results: What actually happens is that it gets stored in the local storage "Sent Items". Expected Results: Should get stored in the accounts configured "Sent Items" folder.
Can confirm exact that behaviour.
Can confirm for kmail --version Qt: 4.8.2 KDE: 4.13.2 KMail: 4.13.2 akonadictl --version Akonadi 1.12.1
We store email against settings from identity. So if you use an identity which define "send folder" when you send even if you use template it will store in folder configurate in identity.
The option for using a Send-folder is on and I use the Inbox-folder also as Send-folder. When opening a template the identity is set correct. Can the double use of Inbox be a problem?

That's wrong. That is not what happens. All my accounts and identities are set to save into IMAP folders. However, regardless of those setting, they all get saved to the local folders. If you read the initial bug report, you will see that is exactly how I have set it up. See point 1.
This bug is still in place with plasma5, it's been confirmed, just wondering if it's being taken seriously?
Retried with a new user. Did more checking with plasma. It now does not save the email at all, either in the imap repository, or in local folders. This is now a MAJOR bug.
I am getting completely fucked off with this, Here we have a bug which has existed for well over a year, and sweet fuck all has been done about it. Perhaps the kmail maintainer can tell everyone WHY he has no intention of fixing it? Perhaps he does not use IMAP, and therefore could not give a shit who loses emails. Or perhaps he has no idea what the bug actually is. Perhaps, a new maintainer should be appointed.
Full ACK. In fact, this is the main bug why I don't (can't) use Kmail as Email client.
(In reply to bib from comment #8) > Perhaps, a new maintainer should be appointed. Thanks to maintain kmail .
So basically what you are saying is, no one in the KDE project gives a shit about this core application 'cause they are all using something else. Not so much not eating your own dog food, more a refusal to eat from the communal trough.
It's still happening in Kmail 5.0.2, it just started not saving the email for me, which is not cool as I do need a record of email I've sent. It used to save in my local save-mail folder instead of on IMAP, but something changed last week and it just stopped saving template messages altogether.
I'm not able to reproduce this bug in KMail 5.4.1. I created a template, and tried these two ways to send a message based on the template: 1. Select "File -> New -> Message from Template -> [Template Name]" 2. Open the template folder, select the template, press T I modified it by adding Subject and To, and sent the resulting message. I tried the second variant twice, with another Identity in the second run. In all cases, the message ended up in the correct Sent folder I set up for the corresponding Identity. My local Sent folder is still empty. Is anyone still able to reproduce this issue in a recent version of KMail? If so, can you, dear reproducer, please try to provide additional information on how to reproduce it? Please also state your KMail version, which should at least start with a five.
Huuh, I tried to check with KMail 5.4.0 but this version seems to have too many bugs. I also tried to define a template folder but its not visible in the "File->New" list. But I see so many options reset back to a default value when I reopen a saved config dialogue. So this version has already its problems to define a template folder. :-/ Kmail 5.4.0 KDE frameworks 5.29.0 Qt 5.7.0 (kompiliert gegen 5.7.0) xcb window system
