Bug ID: 311191
Severity: wishlist
Version: 4.10 pre
Priority: NOR
Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
Summary: Inconsistantly "Configure" vs. "Modify" vs. "Edit"
outgoing accounts
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux
Reporter: pancho.mz at riseup.net
Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
Status: NEW
Component: config dialog
Product: kmail2
In 4.10, the list of outgoing accounts is equipped with both buttons and a
context menu.
However, while the button says "Modify", the context menu says "Edit" and the
dialog is called "Configure". Also the shortcuts are widely differing.
I'm not completely sure what is the best terminology.
While "modify" is pretty uncommon, "edit" largely refers to manual editing,
both reflect that accounts can be completely changed, not just configured.
On the other side, from a UI perspective, "configure" seems to be better than
the others. And finally, while editing an account beyond modification, is
indeed possible, but a rather advanced (or erroneous) usage, which might affect
identities as well.
So I'd propose consistantly using "configure".
Same might hold for Identities, but this should be subject of both a separate
consideration and ticket.
Reproducible: Always
