Description F Reifenstahl 2003-12-31 12:34:41 UTC 
Version:           1.5.4 (using KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.1 (SuSE Linux)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.22-xfs

Since my last update to 3.1.4 sorting of folders in kmail ignores non-alphabetic characters, in contrast to its former behaviour. I classify this feature loss as a bug, because all my efforts to give additional structure to the tree by using spaces and braces are now lost alike.

That's because the underlying Qt libraries know use locale aware sorting (i.e. now folders with German umlauts are sorted correctly if you are using a German locale). If you don't want this then you have to export LC_COLLATE=POSIX (possibly by adding "export LC_COLLATE=POSIX" to your ~/.bashrc).
