[kmail2] [Bug 356657] Notification popups not readable
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356657 OlafLostViking changed: What|Removed |Added Version|unspecified |5.5.1 Resolution|WAITINGFORINFO |--- Status|NEEDSINFO |UNCONFIRMED --- Comment #3 from OlafLostViking --- I am now using KMail 5.5.2 [not selectable in the version drop down]. After deliberately setting wrong passwords for receiving mails, a popup dialog is opened _in the background_ (behind Kontact). But at least it's telling me what's wrong and it won't disappear without interaction. But setting a wrong password for the SMTP server still only triggers a notification and no dialog. And this says the server wouldn't support PLAIN (which is plain wrong ;-) ). The size of the notification is now big enough for me to read everything, though. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356657 Denis Kurz changed: What|Removed |Added Resolution|--- |WAITINGFORINFO Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEEDSINFO --- Comment #2 from Denis Kurz --- This bug has never been confirmed for a Kontact version that is based on KDE Frameworks, except possibly a Technology Preview version 5.0.x. Those versions differ significantly from the old 4.x series. Therefore, I plan to close it in around two or three months. In the meantime, it is set to WAITINGFORINFO to give reporters the opportunity to check if it is still valid. As soon as someone confirms it for a recent version (at least 5.1, ideally even more recent), I'll gladly reopen it. Please understand that we lack the manpower to triage bugs reported for versions almost two years beyond their end of life. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356657 --- Comment #1 from OlafLostViking --- Just to show how this can be a problem: the reason for me not being able to send an email was that the new KMail uses kwallet5 which didn't provide the correct password. But as KMail's popup told me my problem is the authtication *method* (PLAIN not supported...) and, as written above, the message from the server itself was not readable, I didn't expect any problems with my credentials. After changing the password manually sending emails works again. Oh, and the popup is shown "anywhere" but not near or even in the notification area of Plasma. But that could also be a KWin or Plasma problem (as they both are struggeling a lot with multiple screens). I'm just mentioning it as this could lead to more people not even ever realising there was a message displayed. As this is an error message a modal dialog seems more appropriate. But that's another story ;-) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
