KMail's "Find Messages" search dialog should provide a multiple-selection list rather than a single-selection drop-down box for the search folders, so that arbitrary folders can be selected with CTRL- and SHIFT-click. This is not the same thing as automatically searching subfolders. On my KMail I have an "Archive" folder containing old e-mails from the past ten years. When I want to search my other folders for a message I know I've received recently, there's no point in having KMail search through all ten years of archives; I want to be able to exclude the Archive folder (and all its subfolders) from the search. 184885 3 kloecker 2003-12-11 14:11:42 +0000 re-open 233621 4 coolo 2004-05-17 19:42:08 +0000 Replaced wr@poboxes.com with psychonaut@nothingisreal.com due to bounces by reporter 245701 5 ragaprong 2004-07-04 08:53:13 +0000 Hello, I like to subscribe to this bug. Additional search features for KMail could be: * Search only for messages within a given time period (by date) * Search only for messages that have an attachment (add "w/attachment" to status list) Sometimes things were easier when you just could drop one search condition in the middle of the list.... Thank you Regards Raga 328858 6 fergal 2005-03-28 09:51:26 +0000 This is really important to make search folders useful, without it, a search folder cannot be the union of several other folders. This is the reason I'm currently using Evolution instead of KMail. I'd suggest handling it a bit like the search criteria. There'd be More and Fewer buttons and then N drop-downs in which the user can select folders. Also beside each drop down there'd be a tick box for "include all subfolders". If you really wanted to be sophisticated you could have 3 things on each line Includes/Exclude this folder : Folder Name : Include subfolders? You also need special folders for "all local" and "all remote" and "all account X". 546621 7 mcguire 2007-09-20 19:41:25 +0000 *** Bug 79503 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 588524 8 mmmbugs 2008-03-20 23:08:59 +0000 After more than 7 years on the kmail wishlist it seems like this would have been addressed. Almost all full featured email clients allow a search across multiple folders. I can see how this might not be the most useful feature for those with just a few local folders as it _is_ possible to search all local folders. However, for those with many local folders or (gasp) IMAP accounts, the inability to search across an arbitrary subset of mail folders is a deal breaker. Please add this feature! 588525 9 mmmbugs 2008-03-20 23:12:46 +0000 *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** 747592 10 psychonaut 2009-04-25 23:47:34 +0000 Confirming feature is still missing from KDE 4.2.2. 888985 11 bjoern 2009-12-29 22:16:18 +0000 *** Bug 153443 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 1286257 12 myriam 2012-08-18 08:09:48 +0000 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. 1288487 13 luigi.toscano 2012-08-19 01:14:24 +0000 Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2. 1317989 14 pancho.s 2012-11-24 07:49:05 +0000 Still valid for kmail2, component "general". High importance, I'd say. Would be nice to have more components available to allow for better categorizing. 1318001 15 montel 2012-11-24 09:25:20 +0000 Move to kmail2 please and reopen it if it's still valid :) 1318019 16 pancho.s 2012-11-24 10:54:28 +0000 Hmm, you're right in that I can mark multiple folders in the folder sidebar and then use the Search bar above the messagelist. So "high importance" is an overstatement. However, the more advanced "Find Messages" dialog doesn't offer a flexible choice of folders. And as far as I can see, that's what this issue is about. "Find messages" still only gives me the choice of searching all folders or just a single one. So, I'd still propose reopening this for kmail2 keeping "normal importance", but with a more specific issue summary. 1398130 17 montel 2013-09-19 06:22:26 +0000 it was the first bug report opened about it but I set as duplicate as new bug because we will see it in top of list of bug (more easy to see it :) ) *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 324838 *** 1398135 18 psychonaut 2013-09-19 07:36:44 +0000 Laurent, perhaps a better way of seeing important bugs at the top of your list is to sort by votes rather than by bug number. Marking a very old bug like this one as a duplicate means that everyone who's voted or CC'd on this one has to manually transfer their settings to the new bug. :(
