HTML mail now in KMail with KDE 4.8 - yay!

[SteveRiley]

Looky looky!



And replies work! I created an HTML mail, sent it to myself, replied to myself with more HTML, and all the formatting was preserved. Yay!

Oh, and if you're having problems lately with Gmail -- errors about item flags -- it's been reported in bug 288816. I saw the same thing until I removed and recreated Akonadi configuration. I also switched from imap.gmail.com to imap.googlemail.com. KMail and Gmail are functioning very well now.

I suspect the 4.8 beta in the Kubuntu beta backports has the same feature. Are you willing to take the plunge?

Hi
If this was not a work machine I would do so yes, but unfortunately I'm in the middle of:
a) a huge bout of the flu
b) reworking my lectures for the next term.

so, unfortunately no.

However, when you get a really Kewl dingus in your e-mail using HTML how about giving us a look see and a how to?

Here's a sample, I sent myself an HTML mail and replied:

Steve, you're making my mouth water for KDE 4.8....

I'm having a hard time sticking to my plan of waiting until 12.04 release.

I've been using the back- port ppa for the last week without any problems. The last round of updates fixed Kmix.
KDE hasn't yet crashed (not that it was crashing before).
However I don't do any super geeky stuff, so it might be a different experience for you.

As long as I can install and use the latest QtSDK + gcc, Stellarium, SAGE, compile my watcom driver for my Bamboo tablet, and run a few other apps I'll be happy!

How about the Quad-core i7 Abacus.

Thanks Steve! I can wait until 4.8 is released but if that helps some of the issues I've had with KMail, I'lldefinately try it again at that time. Mozilla's weird release cycle and continual version number increases have played havoc with the plug-ins I use. On that note. Does anyone know if KMail has anything like a web-mail plug-in to access web-mail accounts? Thanks!

MoonRise.
Yes.
You can see several setup posts in the how-tos sub-forum.

Thanks. Will remember that when I migrate up to 4.8.
