Description Morten O. Hansen 2005-12-04 03:10:33 UTC

Version:           1.9 (using KDE 3.5.0, compiled sources)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.14.3

When I change the name of a folder containing sub-folders, all the settings of the sub-folders disappear (atleast sorting and threading).

How to reproduce :

1) Create a main folder, and put some mails here
2) Create two or three sub-folders, and put some mails here
3) Enable threading in all folders (Folder -> Thread Messages)
4) Now rename the main folder to something

Now all the threading in the sub-folders are gone. I have tried this with a new user, and creating folders several times -- i get the same result every time.

With Regards
Morten O. Hansen

confirmed with current 4.4 trunk

Can't reproduce on KDE 4.9.3, neither on a local folder nor on an IMAP folder:
Renaming the parent folder doesn't affect sorting and threading settings of a sub-folder.
Seems to be fixed, so I'd propose to close this issue.

resolving, per Bernd's testing
