Package: kmail
Version: 2.0
Severity: wishlist
Installed from: source

Hi

There does not seem to be any way to choose the order of the folders in the left pane in kmail.  It seems alphabetical/reverse alphabetical is it.

Would be nice.

The reason:  I have a "temporary" folder where I clean out stuff from my inbox to be dealt with later.  It's called
"AA Temporary" right now.

User must have a chance to set order of folders in any order he need^ not=
=20
only alphabetical. For example I have folders "Archive" and "Actual": the=
=20
first I need to place to the bottom of tree the second - at the top.

And this settings must produced by simple drag-n-dropping folders.


--=20
Best regards
George

This is not total dup, but it is certainly related to my bug #74388.

This bug/wish is dated from 2001. Watching the comment list it seems there is more urgent work to be done on kmail... ;) I support the request for a free sorting of folders, I am missing it for years while my folder list is growing...

My comment from Bug 79312:

This issue is more general than KMail-related alone, and IMHO needs to be reopened. It is not (i.e. not only) duplicate of 18170. Sort order in KDE is ignoring any non-letter symbols at the begining of names.

This is consistent (and very annoying for me) across the whole KDE - in file lists, directory order, in bookmarks etc.etc.  For example, directory with name "!harry" should be _before_ directory named "anna"; instead "!harry" is shown after it like "!" does not exist at all.

This should be at least configurable. Maybe somebody thinks that ignoring special symbols is "cool"... However I would like very much to get my old decent honest sorting back.

It is very strange that KMail is not able to let user organize the folderlist themselve. Actually I think it's the only graphical mail-app I know about, that can't do this. It is very annoying to not be able to have the folders on the position I prefer. Right now I'm using numbers in front of the foldernames, to be able to organize like I want. Please add this to KMail a.s.a.p. This is a very old wish!!

For KMail's defense, Outlook is the other only one.
Comment 14 Harijs Buss 2007-05-29 15:34:22 UTC
Unability to select folder order in Kmail unfortunately is still existing and very annoying. KMail 1.9.6 in KDE 3.5.6.
Comment 15 Pablo De Napoli 2008-01-05 03:23:06 UTC
I think this is feature would very important in order to make kmail more user friendly

SVN commit 881321 by tmcguire:

Merge the KMail summer of code branch back to trunk.

This brings a reworked folder tree and and a new message list, which is much more powerful than the old one.
New features include grouping, multiline items and the ability to customize just about everything of the look of the message list.
Also, we have a tabbed interface for opening more than one folder at once now.
An important aspect of the new message list is that drawing speed is now fast again (there was a regression in Q3ListView that
made huge folders a real pain to navigate, reading commit folders was not a nice thing to do).
There are probably more things which I forgot to list here.

Also, this is big step forward in getting rid of Qt3Support in KMail, now just some tiny bits are left.

Many thanks to SoC student Szymon Stefanek for his awesome work on his project! I can't stress enough how great this
achivment is. He even added very good API documentation to his classes :)

This requires the lastest version of qt-copy, otherwise you'll get mysterious crashes in Qt painting code from time to time.
We hope that this patch will be added to the next Qt 4.4.x version.

And finally, this merge also brings many regressions, which is not unnatural for such a big change.
In the remaining time before the KDE 4.2 release, we'll have to work on those to get it polished and regression-free.
Help here is always needed, and is a good opportunity to start working on KMail, since many regressions are low hanging fruit.

It also means the message list and the folder tree need a bit of testing.
If you find bugs, report them under the "new message list" and "new folder tree" component of the bug tracker, thanks.

I also plan to setup a wiki page with known regressions.
