Public bug reported:
KMail supports adding a Microsoft EWS account under Configure Kmail ->
Receiving -> Add -> Custom Account. This works as expected. However,
as packaged (either on a default installation, or when installing Kmail
using apt and allowing all it's dependencies), the package
kmailtransport-akonadi is not included. This means when you go to
Configure Kmail -> Sending -> Add, EWS is not listed as an option. The
user has to know (or web search) that they need to manually install
kmailtransport-akonadi in order to allow them to send email using their
EWS account. Simply installing this package and relaunching Kmail
allows a Microsoft EWS sending agent to appear in the list exactly like
you would expect.
I would not consider this a problem if it wasn't for the fact that
*receiving* email from EWS is included out of the box. *Sending* should
also be included.
This occurs with a clean install of Kubuntu 19.10. It also occurs on
Kubuntu 20.04 (tested with latest daily as of 3/6/2020) after running
apt install kmail.
