[kdepim-users] horrible experience creating a new IMAP account

[Anders Lund]

I just got a new IMAP account, and tried to configure kmail to use it.

I opened kmail settings, went to accounts and clicked new, then selected IMAP 
server.

A dialog came up, asking for access to my wallet for an accunt named "IMAP 
account 5" (or thereabout).

I confirm, and a dialog for configuring that account came up, prefilled with 
my username and password from another account. STUPID!!

I correct the account name to something useful, replaces the username and 
password and clicks OK.

A dialog comes up asking for access to the wallet for the renamed account. 
DOOOOOOOOOH, DUDE! But I grant it.

Now starts a fight with various error messages, they appear in stacks. Some of 
them claims that "the user does not allow access to the wallet". Which is not 
so, of course.

At this point I am not sure if the information I gor for the account is wrong, 
or if it is just kmail that is so bad in this iteration that it does not 
support creating a new IMAP account at all.

I do know one thing, though:

How sadly horrible!
