            Bug ID: 388284
           Summary: Changes to identity assigned to a folder not being
                    saved?
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 5.7.0
          Platform: Neon Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: folders
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: kde at foskett.org
  Target Milestone: ---

accessing kmail via kontact in kde neon.

Changes to identity assigned to a folder not being saved - on restarting
kontact they have reverted to default identity, in this case resulting in an
inability to send email (changes the associated SMTP account to one that
doesn't match the right server). 

context: so, I'm not 100% sure what happened here, i discovered I couldn't send
email from one of my accounts, googled the error message, checked email configs
against my email provider's recommended configs which led me to update the SMTP
server name. I tried sending email again, and got a different error message
this time, googled that, saw some bugs related to cert common name mismatch
with the server name in kmail's config, read up a little on using openssl to
find the name and update it, decided against it and put the original server
name back in, and noticed that at some point in this process the identity
associated with the mail folder had changed from the correct one to the default
one. I changed it to the correct one, and realized that kmail wasn't saving the
change on closing.
