            Bug ID: 302378
          Severity: wishlist
           Version: 4.8.3
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: KMail produces a useless notification when an email is
                    successfully sent
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: alex.wauck+kdebugs at gmail.com
          Hardware: Ubuntu Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: UI
           Product: kmail2

The default is for KMail to produce a notification message when an email is
successfully sent.  I would argue that this is a bad default, since when the
average person clicks "Send", they expect that the email will be sent.  There
is no need to notify the user in this manner upon success.

If this is the default because it can sometimes take a while for messages to be
sent, then the notification should be suppressed if the message is successfully
sent within a certain amount of time (suggestion: 5 seconds).  Take care that
entering GPG or mail server passwords does not count toward this time limit.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Send an email.
2. Wait for notification to pop up in desktop's notification area
Actual Results:  
Notification pops up.

Expected Results:  
Nothing
