It would be great, if new unreaded messages (markes by blinking news icon) would be marked as new and unreaded after restarting of kopete, too.

I agree, this would be very useful, for example in Miranda this works good.
Comment 2 Charles Connell 2008-01-23 20:46:49 UTC 
This would be a serious chore to implement. Messages would have to be stored to disk and then reinserted into a ChatSession instance. There is no good way of storing messages anyways. Workaround: use the history plugin to store all messages and you can read them any time.
Comment 3 Jiří Voseček 2008-01-23 22:14:16 UTC 
Charles: History plugin is nice, but useless, because I do not know if I receive some new message and I can not explore whole archive ...
Comment 4 Charles Connell 2008-01-23 22:19:00 UTC 
Okay, point taken. I still don't think that this is worth implementing. Kopete is not designed to be restarted frequently, it is designed to exist in a steady state, keeping everything alive in memory. We do not save file or load files the way that many other applications do. We don't want to take it in that direction, sorry.
