           Summary: kmail does not show proper error message on send
                    failure
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux

Today I wanted to send a mail to a large number of people. kmail showed me that
it couldn't send the mail, but didn't give me any reason for it.

Luckily I had the possibility to look into the server logs and found
 431 Too many recipients.
there. But it's really bad behaviour to not let the user know any reason for an
smtp-failure. It should pass the server error message to the user so the user
get's at least an idea what might be the problem (as most users probably have
no way of looking into the server logs).
