Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.2) Installed from: Debian stable Packages I'd guesstimate that about 90% of my email searches are of the "To: or From: matches some string" type, and I almost never search by subject. Now when opening the "search in folders dialog" the dialog is always setup for "email matches *all* of the following" and one single rule with "subject contains some string". This way I have to fiddle around with several search parameters everytime I want to do my "To:/From:" search, which is really inconvenient. Wish: Either make the search dialog remember the last settings (except maybe the search strings themselves) even across program restarts, or make some method available to define some defaults which are always used when the search dialog is invoked. The settings remembered should include all relevant search parameters. Thank you, Patrick
Have you ever considered to open a saved search folder and then type "S" (Tools -> Find Messages ...)? You can have complex filter constructs saved this way. Changing some variables is fairly easy, isn't it?
actually in the KMail Version I have here (KDE 3.3.2) the search criteria come up empty if one doesn't specify anything for the strings to search, so that distracted me from using it. If one enters some dummy input there the criteria come back OK, if one invokes the Search in Folders function. e.g. "Subject" contains "" -> dialog comes back with: "" contains "" "Subject" contains "a" -> dialog comes back with "Subject" contains "a" Is that problem known/fixed? Does this possibility invalidate my original request (remember last settings used)? I don't think so, but I'll leave that up to the maintainers. Patrick

Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented. Thank you for your understanding.
Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
