Description Thomas Bleher 2003-09-16 14:25:05 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:          Linux

Idea:
I would like KMail to automatically parse incoming MAILER-DAEMON style
error messages and present an appropriate error message next to the
original message, in the user's native language, with an option to view
the original error mail.

Rationale:
I know from personal experience that many users cannot interpret the
standard error messages sent by many mailer-daemons, especially if they
do not speak English. So they often just delete these messages and never
know that their message was not correctly delivered.

Implementation:
I'm not sure if the message format is sufficently standardized so that
all messages can be parsed correctly. I think it would be a first good
step to implement the parsing of the most widely used daemons, say
qmail, postfix, sendmail, Exchange and whatever AOL and Hotmail happen
to be using right now.

Additional features/ideas:
Jump directly to the address book in case of a permanent error, so the
user can change or delete the faulty address.

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented.
Thank you for your understanding.

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.

Reopening, as the wishlist bug is still valid for kmail2.
