KMail is a mail application, more precisely a MUA (mail user agent). KNode is the KDE news reader. If you prefer the all-in-one approach you can use Kontact, which uses those two other programs as embedded components. KDE developers love reusable components :) > What does that "any" combo box do?

I guess any means that KMail will check them all if for applicable keys/certificates when you send encrypted mails. > What is "sticky" checkbox for? Makes the identity sticky, i.e. all message composer windows you open later on will have that identity selected. > KMail. Identity is binded to one mail (smtp and pop usually) server. I think an identity is already bound to only one SMTP server. However you can always select a different output transport in the composer windows if necessary. > There is has no way to change password, when you select > to store it in file?) Is this a KMail or a Thunderbird question? > What does "precommand" do? This can be used to execute an arbitrary command before the mail is fetched. Very useful if you access one server through a SSH or VPN tunnel and have to activate that before. > What is "include in manual mail check"? This means it checks this account/server when you click the "get mails" button. > Maybe wizard for creating new account?

I guess a GUI customization for different user profiles could be done by the distributor like with other KDE programs. Most distributors however target the advanced users and thus leave all options in. > This will be probably added to bugzilla in some form. You should consider posting to a KMail related mailing list like kdepim-users.
