Bug#690945: [kmail] Distribution lists do not work as expected
Package: kmail
Version: 4:4.4.11.1+l10n-3+b1
Severity: normal
--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
The problem is also described at [1].
Problem 1: Creation of distribution lists in the default ressource std.vcf is
not possible.
Problem 2: I figured out that it is possible to create distribution lists
in the kmail imap ressource. When I select the distribution list in
the mail composer it sends the message to a unknown address
which is of the form [distributionlistname]@[hostname].
The recipients of distribtion list are not correctly shown in the composer,
they are empty fields.
Using the suggestion from [1], I modified the name of the recipient
in the distribution list such that the name is a bit different from
the already stored user record. With this modification all the names of
the members in the distribution list apear and I was able to select them. By
pressing the button to add them in the "to" of "bcc" part, I was able to send
messages to the members. This is only a work around I think.
Many thanks for your work on kde in debian.
Remarks:
My kmail/kadressbook uses akonadi (system settings/ressources).
