            Bug ID: 347706
           Summary: wish for "Configure Completion Order": also option to
                    disable any source
           Product: kmail2
           Version: Git (master)
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: composer
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: jjm at keelhaul.me.uk

The completion order configuration (Configure KMail - Composer - General -
Configure Completion Order) is a useful facility.  There may be situations,
though, where the user would have an address source configured but may only
want to use it for lookup (in KAddressBook or elsewhere) and not for
completion.  Having too many address sources configured slows down the address
line interaction, especially if the source is slow or has many addresses, and
makes the popup list too long.

Suggest that this could be easily achieved by having the list of completion
sources also show a check box for each one;  if the box is not checked then the
source would be ignored for completion.

Turning off a source here should also not use it in the recipients picker
(opened by "Select..." in the composer window header area).  This picker should
also honour the completion order, for consistency.  Both of these would make
the picker more convenient to use, as opposed to the current where all sources
are always shown and the tree is fully expanded when the picker opens.


Reproducible: Always
