           Summary: Weird behaviour in account settings dialog
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.10.0
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: aniketvb85 gmail com


Version:           1.10.0 (using 4.1.00 (KDE 4.1.0), 4.1.0-2.fc10 Fedora)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.25.11-97.fc9.i686

This is a kinda small, but very irritating bug. 
I have 2 Gmail accounts configured via IMAP in Kmail. 

When I click on the Modify button in the Accounts tan in Kmail COnfiguration, 
The Account Name field displays the account name for a moment and becomes blank, and I have to enter the Account Name every time I change something in the settings. 

If I keep it blank, the folder for that account gets renamed to some number (which seems random) and the next time I go to modify that account, it says "unknown account" . 

So the main problem is that the Account Name field should not Vanish like that in the first place. This was never a problem with Kmail in KDE 3.5. 

As a side note, I have noticed this problem of Vanishing field entry on trying to change a setting or something in many KDEPim apps in KDE 4. To be specific , i have seen it in Akregator while editing feeds (the feed name disappears) , and also in Kaddressbook when I am editing any contact the formatted name field disappears as soon as it appears in the dialog.
