Hi

I don't really understand what's up.
I have checked for duplicates, and have found 34617 and 14060, both closed.

Yet, the same problem is here. Is this a regression?

So the problem: When I read a thread, I expect to read the elements one after the other. I am used to delete all the mail I have read and that I don't want to keep around.
So after reading a mail in the thread, I delete it.

In mutt, this marks it for deletion, but it stays there, and I can go on reading the thread.

In kmail, when I delete a message of the thread, the subthreads are now broken apart. (say you have a message, two replies, and then replies to those two, you delete the first, now you have two threads that are not linked, and sometimes not even close to each other)

The remaining thread is moved down, sorted according to time, so now I have unread messages above my current message. Bad.

To put it simply: I use mutt for years. I am used to it, and I think the way threads are handled in mutt is good, the way threads are handled in kmail is not.

I have seen suggestions that require the way I read my mails, but they just wont work.

Cheers,
Gabor
