[This applies to KMail 5.0.3 which isn't selectable in the version drop down above.] After creating the first mail account from the setup assisstant of KMail (local .* folders deleted - so basically a new user), the "Welcome to KMail 5.0.3" screen is displayed and stays there even if the user clicks into the folder list. After a restart of KMail clicking the folder list shows the correct message list instead of the welcome screen. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. new user 2. create new IMAP account with assisstant 3. let it download the mails in the background Actual Results: 4. don't be able to access the message list (welcome screen is constantly displayed) Expected Results: 4. access message list by clicking in the folder list
Same thing happened on Arch Linux after update to new version of KDE applications - all my accounts were lost and after adding the first one I had to restart kmail to see the message list.
The quick and dirty fix is to simply change the welcome text to something like: "Please restart this application. Sorry for any inconvenience!" If someone can tell me where the welcome text resides in the code, I am happy to change it.
This can still be reproduced in KMail 5.5.1, although it is not as severe as it used to be: The Welcome screen can simply be invoked manually (Help -> Introduction to KMail). Now, if you click on the folder you were in before you opened the Welcome screen (the one that should still be highlighted in the folder list), the Welcome screen stays put. Clicking on another folder makes it go away, though. I'm pretty sure that this is a duplicate of another bug, but I cannot remember the details right now.
