           Summary: UI: use checkbox items in the menu, do not change the
                    text on switch
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: bluedzins wp pl


Version:            (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

for example "work online". 
 
 Reason: 
 a) it is easier to navigate for user, if users select option X, she/he then looks for option X to turn the feature off, but when the text is change there is no longer option X, there is option Y -- it takes more time to read and ensure that this is counterpart of the original option 
 a.1) it is not always 100% clear what the negation of the option will be 
 b) it adds unnecessary amount of work/resources to translate menus 
 c) it makes working in multilingual environment harder (one computer in english, second in polish) because of doubled text 
 e) it is visually easier to read what is on/off when you see checkbox 
 f) UI should be consistent within KDE --> checkboxes 
 
 
KDE4 live does not contain kmail, so I am sorry if this has been already fixed.
