I can confirm this bug.
Actually there are two bugs:
1. The input for BCC and Reply-To is not validated at all - it should be valid
or empty.
2. The identity's email address is correctly validated when hitting OK. However
the error message gives no clue about which input is considered invalid, which
is very confusing if another tab is active.

Proposed solution:
ad 1. Validate the input for BCC and Reply-To as well.
ad 2. When validation fails, jump to the appropriate tab and highlight the
respective field. (Isn't there something like a red error marking in the
libs?).

Please mark this one confirmed and http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=280151 a
duplicate. THX
