kmail spellcheck

I am getting a 'spell-as-you-type is not enabled' message in Kmail but I cannot find a setting to turn this on. How do I enable this?

Same here. I cannot find the option for "spell checking as you type"

RE: kmail spellcheck

At least it is possible to enable this in the configuration file. Therefor, first shutdown KMail. After that, open ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc. Look for the Composer group (the line [Composer]) and check if you can find a line like

Source code

 
1

autoSpellChecking=false
in that group. If so, you can change it to

Source code

 
1

autoSpellChecking=true
and start KMail again afterwards.

Thanks, will try that for sure.

But still wondering which engine and dictionary it will use, as I also wanted that to be true when typing in Russian.

AFAIK, it uses the global KDE settings for spell engine (aspell or ispell) and language. You can find these settings in kcontrol->KDE Components->Spellings Checker.

There is a nice little tool called kwriteconfig which can be used for this as well

Source code

#> kwriteconfig --file kmailrc --group Composer --key autoSpellChecking --type bool true


Neat, huh? ;)

Adding "true" option in kmailrc does work for English.

But is there a way for both, English and Russian (and even French), to be active, once I switch to other language, and so it also switched it's dictionary automatically.

At the moment I am using International Ispell Client with Ispell default dictionary, and Aspell is also available as client, with dictionaries installed for English, Russian and French (both for Ispell and Aspell)
