Bug ID: 411992
Summary: kmail poorly written notification text if no password
entered to collect email
Product: kmail2
Version: 5.12.1
Platform: openSUSE RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kdepim-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ja...@thornber.io
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Currently if Kmail cannot connect to the email server, due to it not
remembering the password, then the notification comes up "Resource Mail (james)
is broken". It's not broken, it's more that it doesn't have the password. So I
think that this is a poorly-written notification text. Something like "KMail is
unable to connect to the mail server, as no password has been entered", would
perhaps be better.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. remove password from Kmail account
2. Restart Kmail, and close the password input screen ie don't enter your
password.
3. Look at the notification that comes up within KDE.
OBSERVED RESULT
Receive notification that "Resource Mail (james) is broken".
EXPECTED RESULT
Receive notification that "Kmail needs a password to connect to the email
server"
