           Summary: Kontact (Kmail) doesn't automatically set outgoing mail
                    server as default
           Product: kontact
           Version: 1.2.9
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: trebacz at comcast.net


Version:           1.2.9 (using 3.5.9, Kubuntu (hardy) 4:3.5.9-0ubuntu7.1)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.24-19-generic

Kontact (or KMail) doesn't automatically set the outgoing mail server as the
default delivery method -even when there is only one outgoing mail server to
choose from. Perhaps I created this bug since my incoming accounts are
different than my outgoing mail server.

The result of behavior then is that you need to select the send via option or
the email just sits in the outbox until you manually send it.

Once you go into the account and set the only outgoing account to default -the
email are sent as expected. The other option would be to warn users when they
set the default delivery method to "Send Now" -warn that there is no default
SMTP account. To me it seems like if there is only one choice -that it should
automatically be set to the default account or allow the user to set which
account is used for the "send now" functionality.
