Bug ID: 427738
Summary: "POP3 Account" stays as the name for each email I set
up; have to check setting each time to tell which it
is!
Product: kmail2
Version: 5.14.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: config dialog
Assignee: kdepim-b...@kde.org
Reporter: ruthesro...@zoho.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I've used KMail for over 13 years, and always preferred it for the multiple
accounts I could set up and check ALL my emails in about 2 hours a day. Today I
installed LEAP 15.2 and the new KMail2 (vs.5.14.2 (20.04.2)) is frustrating me
no end. I don't really care for IMAP, but I've even tried that.
When I set up the outgoing account for a domain email, I give it my abbreviated
code names, but all of them now show in the drop-down list as "POP3 Account" -
so to find out which one it is, I have to go back into the settings to check.
I've changed some of them to IMAP, which solves this problem, but this will be
a near learning curve. I dread having to go often to each email in their
Cpanel, to sweep out the emails I've deleted in KMail.
Is this a permanent feature now, or am I just lacking some setup info? If it's
a bug, I'd sure like it cleared up. I've already lost several days to computer
issues, and need to get back to my work routines!
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Tried it dozens of times tonight, both for POP3, and IMAP
2.
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
The generic term, "POP3 Account" is still always the menu/list name for the
emails.
EXPECTED RESULT
to be able to name each email for the Check Mail dropdown list by name.
