Description Artemio 2005-11-08 15:50:31 UTC 
Version:           1.8.2 (using KDE KDE 3.4.3)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs
Compiler:          gcc 4.0.1 
OS:                Linux

It would be very nice if the "check mail in" account list would be sorted alphabetically. With 10 accounts or more it becomes very difficult to work with. Thanks!

Bravo for KDE 4.2!
Currently using kmail 1.11.0

The ordering of Folders (tree view and favorites)
can be sorted manually or by "column".
However, the ordering of accounts in the drop-down
"Check Mail" button menu is by some arbitrary
order (in fact, by Account Id number in kmailrc).

Indeed, it would be nice to be able to choose the
order, especially when one has very many mail accounts.
A logical mechanism would be to allow sorting
in the Configure Accounts dialog and to use this
order in the drop-down check mail menu.
(Currently on can sort in the Configure Accounts
dialog by Name, Type, or Folder, but not manually
and this sorting does not affect the Check Mail
button menu.)

In the previous version of kmail, the check mail
menu was sorted by name, not kmailrc Account Id.

To explain why this would be useful, I have many
accounts that I manually check, and it is easier
to find them if ordered.
