            Bug ID: 411992
           Summary: kmail poorly written notification  text if no password
                    entered to collect email
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.12.1
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: james at thornber.io
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

Currently if Kmail cannot connect to the email server, due to it not
remembering the password, then the notification comes up "Resource Mail (james)
is broken".  It's not broken, it's more that it doesn't have the password. So I
think that this is a poorly-written notification text. Something like "KMail is
unable to connect to the mail server, as no password has been entered", would
perhaps be better.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. remove password from Kmail account
2. Restart Kmail, and close the password input screen ie don't enter your
password.
3. Look at the notification that comes up within KDE.

OBSERVED RESULT
Receive notification that "Resource Mail (james) is broken".

EXPECTED RESULT
Receive notification that "Kmail needs a password to connect to the email
server"
