            Bug ID: 423248
           Summary: Missing menu on mail tab
           Product: kontact
           Version: 5.13.2
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: mail
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: nathan at deckinga.com
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
When I'm in Kontact and I switch from Summary to Mail to Contacts to ... I have
the standard text menu bar at the top with the "Main Toolbar" shown immediately
underneath that. Except for the Mail section. On that section, I do not see the
"File, View, ..." menu nor do I have any toolbars shown. I think if I had the
text one, I could add the toolbar that would then allow me to add a "new email"
button and other shortcuts, but as of right now I have no way to create a new
email from within the Kontact window, I have to go out to the separate KMail UI
and that somewhat defeats the purpose of an integrated UI.

When I open KMail as a stand alone application, everything works as expected.

I have tried updating everything that's available as standard on Fedora 32 and
rebooting the computer to make sure that it isn't a transient situation.

Side note, the "New Message" in the main tool bar on the Summary tab works as
expected.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Kontact
2. Switch from "Summary" to "Mail"
3. Notice all menus are missing

OBSERVED RESULT
All menus are missing and there is no way to start a new email message

EXPECTED RESULT
At the very least, the "File, View, ..." text menu should exist and allow me to
add a Toolbar with the shortcuts I want (including create new email).
