#226292 — kmail - mailadresse and name confused

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi folks, 

somehow in kmail the mailadresse and the name are confused. When I want to 
write a mail, by typing the mailadresse is intelligently fullfilled, but the 
belonging name is not correctly added. Also on most mailadresses, I get the 
same name added (guess, there was never a name, so it is added some default).

I believe, this might be a caching thing.

This happened, when I synced ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/ between two 
computers with (the same version) of kmail.

Is there any way, especially an easy way, to get this corrected?

I also checked kadressbook, here all the names / mailadresses are fine!

Best regards

Hans

In my older version of kmail (on Wheezy -- I'd expect your using a newer 
version) there is a section (essentially a cache) of Recent Addresses in 
/.kde/share/config/kmailrc.

If you have the same file, if you go in and edit those addresses that should fix 
the problem.

Yes, I got a newer one. Kmail2 in debian/testing. And sadly - there is no 
kmailrc any more. I know about that file, but looks like it is needed no more. 
I am not sure, I believe, this is since the introduction of akonadi.

Answer myself: There is ~/.config/kmailrc, which got the known mailaddresses 
with names. However, when I delete them in this file and restart kmail, the 
mail addresses I sent to in the past. are not forgotten. So there is no change 
in the behavour. 

This led me to the conclusion, that these information must be stored 
somewhwere else.

I'm guessing here as I don't use kmail, but have you looked in
~/.cache ?
