The actual problem is somewhat different from what I reported. I changed the summary line to reflect that. The default outgoing account is in fact properly handled for mails sent immediately. I double checked and there's no problem with that. The problem is when I ask Kmail to send mails later. Kmail stores them in the send queue as expected. If I later change the default outgoing account, then ask Kmail to send the queued mails, it will still use the previous default, instead of the new one. It looks like Kmail checks and stores the default at the time the message is added to the queue, rather than at the time the message is actually sent. Steps to reproduce: * Setup two outgoing accounts, A and B, make A the default. * Write a mail and ask Kmail to send it later. * Change the default outgoing account to B. * Ask Kmail to send the queued mails. Kmail 1.9 will use the outgoing account A, despite B being the current default. I checked again on my other machine with Kmail 1.8.2, and in the scenario described above, the new default outgoing account (B) is used as I expected. So newer versions of Kmail (1.9) behave differently from older ones (1.8), and I think the previous behavior was better. I find the new behavior rather confusing and unpractical: if the original default server is failing for some reason, there's no way to change it after all the messages have been queued. I don't know if the change was made on purpose, but I'd like it to be reverted to the old behavior. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
