http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=554941 Summary: kmail interface is ugly, usability bad Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE3 AssignedTo: kde-maintainers@suse.de ReportedBy: grey-olli@ya.ru QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.13) Gecko/2009080200 SUSE/3.0.13-0.1.2 Firefox/3.0.13 I've a few IMAP email accounts. On each mail heck I see a logo. The logo replaces menu, so I can't choose type of sorting or message list view while it is checking folders. It's very annoying, especially on slow internet connections. Sorting type is not remembered between folders. That takes user time if default is not reasonable - hence that's annoying too. The account checking is not multitasking, though the password promt is appearing many times & user has to find out which one window appeared 1st - no ability to enter passwords in other order than window invokation. With fluxbox or any other window manager allowing to start apps easy on a fiven desktop (yes, KDE is ugly & slow - I use only some KDE apps due to some reason) this is very annoying - client is started & there're many password prompts for mail access that cannot be used in any order, but only in invocation one (which is not known). I found that mine version of kmail has some bugs w/ pointers - some times I get crashes of kmail with dublicate messages in folder index. I use gmail w/ IMAP for example. olli@acer15> rpm -qf `which kmail` ; echo "------"; rpm -qa | grep -i KDE | grep -i base kdepim3-3.5.10-8.14.1 ------ kdebase3-nsplugin-3.5.10-17.4 kdebase4-workspace-4.1.3-10.3.7 kdebase3-devel-3.5.10-17.4 kdebase3-SuSE-lang-11.1-65.3 kdebase3-session-3.5.10-17.4 kdebase4-runtime-4.1.3-4.2.9 kdebase4-workspace-ksysguardd-4.1.3-10.3.7 kdebase3-3.5.10-17.4 kdebase3-SuSE-11.1-65.3 kdebase3-runtime-3.5.10-17.4 kdebase4-openSUSE-11.1-66.4 kdebase4-openSUSE-lang-11.1-66.4 kdebase3-samba-3.5.10-17.4 kdebase4-workspace-branding-upstream-4.1.3-10.3.7 kdebase3-SuSE-branding-openSUSE-11.1-65.3 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Use kmail as IMAP client, put mouse over a folder & wait till this ugly slow @$#% allows you press a key to get a sorting type for the folder. Actual Results: I wish I never use that programm soon.. Though if my report will change something - it's the reason I post it. =) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
