Description Eugen D 2001-08-21 11:08:17 UTC 
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kmail
Version:           1.3 (using KDE 2.2.0 )
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
OS:                Linux (i586) release 2.4.9
OS/Compiler notes: 

I'd like to have a combined sender/recipient column in the mail folder view which shows the recipient if the mail was sent by me or the sender if I received the mail. This field should replace the standard "sender" column.

At the moment I see the recipient in the drafs and some other standard folders all the other folders show the sender.

Hi,

I think this bug report has been misunderstood. You can configure "show sender" or "show recipient" for a FOLDER, but you cannot tell KMail "show the sender if the receiver matches the following string: [...]", which is what the original poster wanted.

If you want to keep discussion threads together and therefore put sent and received mails into the same folder, this comes in very handy. Mutt does it... ;)

I would vote for such a feature as well!
Comment 3 Jens 2004-03-15 16:56:45 UTC 
Oops.

Of course, I meant "show the RECEIVER if the SENDER matches the following string: [...]", because I know which mails I sent. (for one thing they have this special icon).

I would probably put "To: " in bold (or green or $CONFIGURABLE_FONT_STYLE) in front of the address if this option is used. Or something like "->" if a new string conflicts with i18n. In fact, I'd like to be able to color my mail listings according to arbtrary header and body information anyway, like Mutt and Evolution can do, but that is a completely different bug. :)
