Bug Description

Binary package hint: kmail

I ran "sudo apt-get install kmail" on regular Karmic (i386) with Rosegarden as the only other KDE application installed. I ran KMail, and set up an IMAP account for Gmail. I chose not to use the KDE wallet(?) to store the password. I expected to be able to read my email. Trying to collect mail give me:

Source URL is malformed.

I added a duplicate account in case I'd made a mistake, and it does the same thing. I also see the following that I missed before?

Could not start process for imap.

I added another account for POP3 instead, same mailbox, and now I see this:

Could not start process pop3s.

If I choose Settings | Configure KMail there's obviously a lot of content missing. That is, it makes no sense, and there are no options to change. Loading a profile, setting defaults, or resetting doesn't help this. The help button doesn't do anything.

Choosing the KMail Handbook from the Help menu gives

The file or folder help:/kmail/index.html does not exist.

and the help page shows

There is no documentation available for /kmail/index.html.

Running from the command line gives these messages at some point:

findServiceByDesktopPath: kmail_config_identity.desktop not found
findServiceByDesktopPath: kmail_config_accounts.desktop not found
findServiceByDesktopPath: kmail_config_appearance.desktop not found
findServiceByDesktopPath: kmail_config_composer.desktop not found
findServiceByDesktopPath: kmail_config_security.desktop not found
findServiceByDesktopPath: kmail_config_misc.desktop not found

Installing kmail on Ubuntu Lucid works fine with IMAP except for the Handbook being unabilable:

Could not find service 'khelpcenter'

except for that everything works fine.

The documentation not being installed by default is a different issue. (This is intentional because they are too big to cram on the CD) As long as everything else works, this is fixed.
