Bug ID: 331169 Summary: account Retrieval options has bad default and weird UI location. Classification: Unclassified Product: kmail2 Version: 4.11.3 Platform: Debian testing OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: UI Assignee: kdepim-bugs@kde.org Reporter: tho...@thomaszander.se If you go to the KMail settings dialog, to the Accounts tab you can find a "Retrieval Options" button on each account. For at least an IMAP account you have a "Switch offline at kmail shutdown" which is checked by default on creating a new account. This is a strange default setting, a user like me that uses kmail for reading email and nothing else is going to get really confused that closing the email application still makes things happen. Doing network access and sending an password over the current internet connection is really not expected. For instance if I want to check my email at home I might be Ok with no encryption, but if my laptop does the same if I'm at a internet cafe, this is very dangerous. I feel that the default should be that only when running kmail will an account be checked. Otherwise the account should be offline. I would like to add that placing the retrieval in a popup that magically appears when you press a button is very unexpected. I found it because I was pointed to it on IRC. Otherwise I would never have found these options. Maybe not the best place to invent new interaction types ;) Reproducible: Always -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Kdepim-bugs mailing list Kdepim-bugs@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kdepim-bugs
