I can confirm that this is a useful wish. (I would have submitted it, too if it wasn't there already.) I will comment again, to clarify what I specifically am looking for. If I could search for messages marked as "Important", scope being selectable of course, and have a nice resulting list of important (possibly unanswered) messages, the actual flagging of such messages would be a lot more useful. The proposed ideal "virtual folder thingie" is a big plus, but not important if only searching for flags worked. -denis at startsiden .dott. NOno Note that it is already possible to sort by status. (Click on the "sender" a couple of times until you get the right sorting.) Searching on flags is so important because you can combine it with other criteria. The more flags are supported, the better. (e.g. important, answered, encrypted, signed ....) Well, sorting on status is of limited use because the messages are often scattered through the hierarchy (of a well organized mailbox :) .. So I agree, I need to be able to combine it with searching through a number of folders and subfolders, along with combining other criteria of course. Unfortunately, the "flag" is multi-purpose and rather transient it seems -- for instance, if you mark a message as "important" and then forward/reply to it, the "flag" changes to the last action taken and thus looses it's importance. As to sorting, I remember this as a "nice" feature of outlook in that the flags (read/unread status), importance, & attachment indicators were seperate columns, thus they could be selected for sorting (as well as moved to different positions, or removed entirely -- after all, what is the point of a seperate read/unread indicator when the subject line text is BOLD for unread messages in the first place?) Actually the part about them being transient is not particularily problematic in my case, as whenever I answer the mails I have usually completed what made me tag it as important in the first place.. Since KDE 3.2 you can search by status and you can create a search folder which will be dynamically updated. Furthermore even Tom's problem is resolved because now a message can have multiple status (e.g. important and answered). |
