Greetings Everybody

Email account setup ease is one of the most important aspects for every email client. \
The current settings setup for pop/smtp remain a bit cryptic to the __uninitiated__ \
for KMail.

To configure any account in setup / receive, we currently go to: configure KMail -> \
Setup for Sending and Receiving Messages. The problem is simple. There is nothing \
that _explicitely_ allows the end user to setup pop / smtp in such a way that they \
seemed and are "paired" if that is the wished behaviour from the beginning. A \
solution is to make Mail Transport options visible during the email composition \
process, something that is not the default layout in many distributions (source - \
based and non). I am aware that there are also _many_ other ways to set this up and \
force it to have the desired behaviour, but why not make it more straightforward to \
the _new_ user?

Wouldn't it be better if there was a setup/configuration layout in the Setup for \
Sending and Receiving Messages section of Configure - KMail that allowed the end user \
to also "pair" a pop server setup with a _specific_ smtp server from the beginning? \
That option could be a simple drop / down list for example, just like the mail \
composer presents once you enable Mail Transport drop-down list option but available \
allready within setup. This is something minor, but handy.

This came up several times when I demonstrated the client to friends and advised them \
to use it.

My compliments for the excellent email client I have been using with joy all these \
years.

Thanks,

obseleron
