Description Yannick Gingras 2008-06-29 02:26:33 UTC

Version:           1.9.9 (using KDE 3.5.9)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
OS:                Linux

The current message list filters do not include a filter for the mails that are "actable".  The attached patch adds one such filter with the definition used by Gnus but Kmail should probably also include mails marked with TODO.

For the record, Ingo gave the following review of this patch's concept:

"It depends very much on the user's workflow which status is used for 
marking messages that need to be acted upon. I for one mark messages as 
important that I later want to be able to find again easily because 
they contain important or very interesting information. So a hard-coded 
filter like "Unread or Important" would be pretty much useless for me 
and other people using the important status similarly.

OTOH, adding multiple drop-down lists or a drop-down list with checkable 
items would hurt the simple user interface of the quick view.

I see two solutions:
- Allow the user to define arbitrary additional status filters (e.g. 
KAddressBook supports custom view filters).
- Use virtual folders (aka saved searches); as far as I know they are 
currently not really usable, but this will hopefully change with KDE 
4.2"

I see this implemented since KDE 4.2
