When trying to send mail from K-Mail 1.4.2 over KDE 3.0.2, running within Gnome2 desktop, I get the message: "Please set the required fields in the identity settings: user-name and email-address" I have double-checked the identity settings - user-name and email-address are DEFINITELY SET to correct values. Also, when receiving a Gnu-PG encrypted email, Kmail doesn't automatically prompt for the PHP passphrase and decrypt. It acts as if the mail is encrypted with an unknown public key (which I have verified is NOT true). Instead, it displays the message as blank, with 2 attachments: A 'padlock' icon, called 'Attachment 0'. An 'unknown document type' icon, called 'encrypted.asc'. Yes - I HAVE linked in the GnuPG key (in the identity settings, 'advanced' tab). The Evolution email client works fine with the same settings, and using the same GnuPG keys. I was looking to switch to Kmail, because Evolution is so slow. But Kmail is a total non-event for me.
sylpheed-claws. try it
The gpg thing is bad, KMail does not support S/MIME attachments (defined in rfc 2633), take a look at http://www.gnupg.org/aegypten/ Is your user-name and email-address defined correctly in ~/.kde3/share/config/kmailrc ?
please give more information on this bug, is the email-address correct in ~/.kde3/share/config/kmailrc ?
please respond
Maybe he took the suggestion to use sylpheed-claws and hasn't looked back since :-) David, please respond! Try kde 3.1 (prereleases, or the real thing soon)?
You might want to close this bug if no-one else is seeing similar. I've since switched back to Debian, where all software is working fine. The problem could have been one of a thousand different things. Could prove impossible to reproduce, given the constant evolution of Gentoo. Cheers David
OK. Hope you come back to us someday :-)
