Yes, I object. The layout is broken now, see the attached screenshot. Just a
couple of points:
- Some labels are no longer aligned with their widgets, for example "Trash
Folder", "Check Interval" and "Identity"
- The "Use default identity" checkbox is no longer logically grouped with the
identity combobox
- The options "Enable interval mail checking", "Include in interval mail
check" and "Check Interval" are no longer logically grouped.
- Same for "Show only * subscribed folders"
Please fix these issues and then re-post a patch. Note that someone recently
posted to the kdepim mailing list, he wanted to fix the same issue. I think he
is currently working on porting the dialogs to UI files, you might want to
contact him. See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.devel.pim/21972 .
I can't say anything about the string change, I guess the i18n team needs to
approve that.
BTW, this is bug 121677.
Regards,
Thomas
