Description BORGULYA Gábor 2006-10-16 15:00:25 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

My inbox has 2000+ messages. They are sorted by date, the newest ones get to the bottom of the list. Usually the latest message is the selected one. 
The problem is that when a new message arrives, it gets to the end of the message list, but I have to use the scroll bar to make its subject and author appear on the sreen. However it is very difficult to see if there is a new message or there isn't, because the only the number of unread messages is increased when a new message arrives.

Suggested solution: if the first or the last message is selected then the message list should automatically get scrolled to its bottom or top when a new message arrives.
So no scrolling would be needed to see if theres was a new message.

Closing this as a dupe of bug 143240 and not the other way round because bug 143240 has a better summary.
