Hi,
I have 3 email identities set up in kmail2. All IMAP.
They are all working - mostly...

But if I attempt to edit any of these, I cannot exit.save using the OK button - I can only Cancel or close.

Any thoughts on how to sort this please,
John

Which version of the KDE platform and applications are you using? Can you check the contents of your $KDEHOME/share/config/emailidentities file?

THanks for the reply.

Do these identities correspond to the old values you cannot modify? What are the permissions on this file? Also, does creating a new identity from scratch work?

These are the old one.

I can create new ones and can create happily until I exit the dialogue - then I cannot edit after this.

Permissions on the files are -rw-rw---- 1 john john 1255 Jun 4 11:19 emailidentities

Hope this helps,

That's strange. Can you open a bug report on bugs.kde.org and attach a non-sensitive (or just remove the sensitive information) emailidentities file to it? Describe the problem in detail there, so that the developers can take a look at it.

EDIT: Before filing a bug, one last try, move the directory KDEHOME/share/apps/emailidentities away and see if the problem persists (KDEHOME is usually .kde or .kde4 depending on your distribution).
