           Summary: "password not correct"-notification is not helpful
           Product: kmail2
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: sven.burmeister at gmx.net


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

If one tries to send a message and the server replies that the authentication
failed kmail just pops-up a small notification which goes away after some
seconds. The user is not even able to read the whole text.

If akonadi notices that authentication for a server fails it issues a dialogue
that asks whether one wants to open the settings for that dialogue and change
the password.

I think that kmail should do the same a) to have a consistent behaviour towards
the user and b) because it gives the user to change the password with less
clicks.

Reproducible: Didn't try
