[Bug 1055862] New: Automatic account creation wizard for IMAP broken in Kmail
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1055862 Bug ID: 1055862 Summary: Automatic account creation wizard for IMAP broken in Kmail Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.3 Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE 42.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE Applications Assignee: opensuse-kde-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: stakanov@freenet.de QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Set up a brand new user. Start kontact and begin to configure kmail. Select: create a new imap account from the wizard. As encryption method choose "gpg wallet encryption". Search for the settings (verified for freenet.de) and then accept the values offered (which are right by the way). Now at the end, after putting password and everything select join the account. Then O.K. You will now be where you have been. Nothing as been created. If you set up the very same email account manually, everything will work as expected. What the software should do: the wizard should save the account set up correctly and save the account. What the software does: runs through the process correctly but at the end the account is not saved. Manual procedure instead works. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

So reopen. (For one time you will not have to be "sorry for not having fixed it in a livetime of the release of 42.3). What does the software do: Choose: create a new pop account or imap account. Choose: do not download settings from the provider (as you wish e.g. not starttls but ssl - a note, when using that feature interestingly every time the less secure method is selected. Maybe the component should be erased all together?). Now: when giving the input: e.g. name of the account, name of the user, password and server then, giving O.K. creates: an anomymous account called AccountPOP3. Although you gave it a name it is not retained. Password and user are not retained and have to be put in manually. When saving, you see that although naming it differently, the name stays anonimously as AccountPOP3. So the update of the name and the management of the account, the username and the password within the wizard are broken and even manual settings are not taken over. IMAP is the same, but as IMAP in 15.2 is unusable and broken, it is not important. Try to fix at least the Pop creation. With SMTP, (which is asked during the wizard, the smtp settings you gave are lost, an anonymous account without username, password,even server is created. But without you asking for it, it is put as dominant smpt account. So the wizard breaks also user settings, not only loosing them. Within the list of accounts active, you may define the order of them with cursors. This feature is also broken. The available accounts, although listed and created are not shown in the list of accounts to be ordered. So no account can be changed in order. What the software should do: The wizard should setup an account according to the variables given by the user, it should not loose username, password and settings. It should name correctly the new account. It should also rename it once created if applicable. Accounts in list should be known to the program and therefore it should be possible to reorder the accounts. Feel free to ask me to open for some of these parts another bug, as everything is broken, it is not easy to understand if this is all the same issue, or if there are several things broken. The same breakages and errors applies if you choose "open a personalized account". After restarting Kmail several times, it was able to finish, restart after restart a working Pop account. It seems that the program crashes silently and cannot save any information. However no segfault or complaint or advice pops up. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
