Description Steve Purcell 2005-10-13 17:48:57 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

To reproduce:
1. Set up a filter that will move mails sent to a particular recipient e-mail address into a specific mail folder, and select checkbox so that it will be applied to sent messages.
2. Send a mail that matches the filter.

Expected results: the sent mail will be moved to the chosen folder and will have no particular status flags set.

Actual results: mail is correctly moved (after a visit to the local Outbox), but is flagged as "Not Sent".

This flag status is confusing and incorrect.

Background details: I use DImap folders, and an external SMTP server.

Hm, there is no status "not sent" in KMail 1.9.
Seems as if this report has gotten obsolete by the time.

Comment 2 Steve Purcell 2005-12-20 23:00:22 UTC

Yes, confirmed.

Comment 3 Steve Purcell 2006-01-06 15:46:52 UTC

Actually, this still appears to be broken. (KMail 1.9.1 on KDE 3.5, folder on DIMAP, Dovecot as IMAP server.)

I have a mail filter which moves sent messages into a folder A.

If I manually select the sent-mail folder in the Compose window to A, then the filed mail is displayed in folder A with a normal status icon and the "Send Again" action is greyed out, which I believe is a bug.

If I select a different sent-mail folder in the Compose window, the outgoing filter correctly overrides the destination folder, but when the message is displayed in A it has the slanting "Sent" status icon and "Send Again" is available.  The status icon is presumably incorrect, because I never see it for other (ie. unfiltered) sent messages.

Let me know if I can answer any questions on this.
