[kmail] [Bug 116212] KMail composer doesn't let the user select which account to send the email from
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116212 --- Comment #11 from Ryein Goddard --- Created attachment 169789 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=169789=edit identity versus from The "identity" drop down is an actual selection of what email you want to send from. The "From" is just a input box you would need to type. This doesn't make sense. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

This is already reported (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=400851) The drop down for identities takes up the same space as a single input slot so what you are saying doesn't make sense to me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

Can we please address the fact that when writing a new email a new user using Kmail won't be able to see which email they can use to send an email with. It is normal in pretty much every single email client I have ever used that you have a drop down. Kmail does in fact have this "identity" drop down you just have to enable it. Currently it has a input box rather than a drop down. All I am saying is switch it around and people would be far less confused. This is for sure a usability bug at the very least. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

It has the actual functionality in it, but it is just kinda strange how it does things and not very intuitive. The "from" input should just be the "identity" drop down. Do people usually just write whatever from email they want? I don't think I have ever needed to do that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
