           Summary: Link(Merge) Receive,Send Accounts and Identities
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.12.2
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: peebhat at gmail.com


Version:           1.12.2 (using 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 178",
KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.1)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27.29-0.1-default

In the present settings interface and mail send-receive interfaces,there seems
to be a tenuous weak link between identity and accounts.But the Receive and
Send accounts feel to be unrelated. I do not know any situation where receive
and send accounts need to be different.

In opera,each account has a send and receive server and send-receive
preferences.That organizes multiple mail accounts more neatly than kmail does
presently.

The purpose and role of identity now is also not very clear.

It would be nice and better organized if accounts are organized around
identities.Each identity will have it's own receive and send configuration.And
it's own folders inherited from a skeleton.

All these folders can be virtual folders and filters to mails in a set of
central common folders which need not be shown in the folders list.
