Bug ID: 442387
Summary: "Use default identity" does not respect parent folder
setting
Product: kmail2
Version: unspecified
Platform: Debian unstable
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: folders
Assignee: kdepim-b...@kde.org
Reporter: bren...@quantumfurball.net
Target Milestone: ---
Hi,
When creating a reply to an email, kmail consults the list of addressees of
that email to match an identity to use for the new reply - if it fails to find
a match, it chooses the identity based on the setting of the folder the email
is in. It seems that in this latter situation, it doesn't matter if the
*parent* folder has a non-global-default identity specified.
I could be wrong, but I feel like it used to be the case that if any parent
folder has a non-default identity specified, this would cascade to child
folders. Certainly this would make more sense to me as the default behaviour,
at least in my use-case - I have multiple accounts with different identities
specified at the top level (account) folder, but unless I were to set each
folder individually to use the applicable non-global-default identity, this is
ignored.
I would like to see identity settings cascade into subfolders, but on further
reflection I think "Use default identity" would make more sense split-up into
three options: 1. Use global default identity (i.e., the current behaviour), 2.
Use parent folder identity (IMO the better behaviour to have as default), 3.
Use another identity (user choice goes here).
Peace,
Brendon
