           Summary: Problem with default identity when creating new
                    massage via KMail's system tray notifier
           Product: kontact
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: mail
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: gdarecki at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.3)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.28-12-generic
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When creating new massage via menu of  (choosing "New massage" there), the
massage editor doesn't start with a general default identity, but with an
identity set as default for the folder which was opened for the last time in
KMail.

For example, 
-- having two IMAP accounts with two identities for them (the one for the first
IMAP as general default identity, the other as default for the second IMAP
account) and a bunch of folders filtering mail from different POP3 accounts
(with different identities associated with them) 
-- and choosing any mail folder X not associated with the general default
identity (i.e. not the first IMAP), 
-- than closing even all Kontact's windows,
still creating a new massage via KMail's system tray notifier/icon ("New
massage"), the massage composer won't start with the general default identity
(as in KDE 3.5 as far as I remember), but with the identity associated with
folder X.

That's evidently a bug, since if there is any sense in setting a general
default identity, that's it: to be able to start quickly writing a massage with
that general identity -- via system tray icon functionality -- which is very
handy when having many identities (otherwise one must choose an identity from
the list in the composer or navigate to an appropriate folder and start
composing a massage from there).
