Package: kmail
Version: 4:3.3.0-2
Severity: normal
When importing several large mbox files into kmail, I got this message
dozens of times:
"Duplicate message subject error when adding message to folder
MBOX-debbugs in KMail"
Now, last I checked, it was still legal to send and receive distinct
messages with the same subject. In fact, this is encouraged when
sending messages to mailing lists. So I don't think this dialog is
appropriate at all. (and if that's not what the dialog means, it needs
to be rewritten so it actually says what it means)
Much worse, the dialog is displayed every time this condition is
encountered, and the program stops processing the current mailbox every
single time. I don't think I have to spell out the problem with this --
if the message must be displayed, it should either be displayed in the
status area of the import window (the one that says "Importing messages
from blahblahblah..."), displayed as a pop-up dialog once and not
displayed again, or at least displayed with a button you can push to
disable it in the future.
Clicking furiously on "Ok" buttons,
Daniel
