Version: 1.5.4 (using KDE KDE 3.1.3) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux See Bug 35603: kmail doesn't scroll down. It was closed but should be reopened. In summary, when a new mail arrives, the inbox should scroll to reveal the new line at the top or bottom (depending on how you like to sort). The 'current' message highlighted and shown in the lower pane should not change. The current non-scrolling behaviour means I have to go the scroll bar EVERY time mail arrives. Scroll bars are fiddly components at the best of times. The arrow keys and page up/down affect the lower pane, not the inbox (even when the inbox has the input focus) so there is no option but to use the scrollbar.
We won't scroll the currently selected message out of sight in the message list. So your wish is a duplicate of 49292. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 49292 ***
