Summary: cannot configure kmail to use a local mailbox account
Product: kmail
Version: unspecified
Platform: Compiled Sources
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: gkiagiad csd uoc gr
Version: 1.9.52 (KDE 4.0.84) (using Devel)
Installed from: Compiled sources
Compiler: gcc version 4.3.1 (Debian 4.3.1-2)
OS: Linux
I am trying to add a local mailbox account in kmail but it doesn't work.
First, there is a usability issue on the add local mailbox dialog
(settings->configure->accounts->receiving->add->local mailbox). The widget used
to select the local mbox file is a QComboBox (why?) with no options available
for selecting and there is a "choose" button on the right side, which allows me
to choose /var/mail/$USER as an mbox file, but it makes no difference when I
return to this dialog (the QComboBox is still empty). I believe a KUrlRequester
would be much more appropriate here...
Second, even if we suppose that the "choose" button actually instructs kmail to
use the mbox file selected, it doesn't work. Kmail never picks up those mails.
