           Summary: Choose the Identity based on the current Activity /
                    Desktop
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: marix at marix.org


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Usually one does not only have different desktops for different things one
does, but also different online identity aka email addresses. E.g. one for
work, one for university, one for open source and one for private
communication. While KMail nicely supports having multiple Identities it does
not yet perfectly fit in with the new KDE4 workflow of having multiple
activities. Ideally the identity chosen for a new email would not only be
chosen by the default and the current folder, but, especially when launched
from a link or the tray, from the current  Activity / Desktop.

Biggest benefit of this would be, that it would not only save you a selection
in the drop down, but also greatly reduce the risk of accidentally using the
wrong email address, as this automatically binds your email address to the
environment which triggered your decision to write an email. Okay, except in
the "rare" case where writing the email is triggered from something outside
your PC. ;)
