Bug ID: 310811
Severity: normal
Version: 4.9.3
Priority: NOR
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: "Outgoing account" is no advanced feature of an
identity
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Chakra
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Component: config dialog
Product: kmail2
The outgoing account isn't an advanced feature but a central feature of an
identity, so it needs to be moved to the "General" tab to avoid it being missed
when setting up a new identity.
While it might be preset to the default, the select box also shouldn't be
disabled for the same reasons. The checkbox can go away.
To avoid being abused by spammers, SMTP servers usually won't accept mails with
a "from" address that doesn't belong to the account. This might include aliases
but no completely different addresses.
Therefore, in most cases, "outgoing account" needs to be set to a correct when
creating a new identity.
I consider this a UI bug, because it will lead to configurations that simply
don't work and to irritated users that don't know what is wrong.
Reproducible: Always
