Description Christoph Bartoschek 2008-11-11 18:11:47 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 3.5.10)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Sometimes one receives mails that one does not want to answer immediately. For example one knows that one wants to work in the issue in 5 days. There should be a way to get the mail delivered again in 5 days. In German it is called "Wiedervorlage".

hi, this bug is not a crash, rather a wish. to the wish by itself, i think it isnt needed really. 
you could for example set up a custom folder for it and use a filter with "age in days >= 5" . then do something with this mail, set unread etc, move back.
Comment 2 Christoph Bartoschek 2008-11-12 09:38:07 UTC
Of course this was meant as a wishlist item.  

Using custom folders for such a task is very tedious. One needs one folder for each timespan, because normally one does not have a fixed number of days to get the mail resubmitted.  An option that allows to mark a mail as "set it to unread on next monday" would be fine. The option would show a calender to pick a day on which one wants to reread the mail.

I think Christoph wants something for mails like it exists just now for appointmens in korganizer.
A way to tell kmail to show a received mail again in a few days as a new unread mail (may be something like the actual Create Todo/Reminder, but with the ability to open the selected mail when the reminder is activated).
May be also be able to send automatically already composed mails in the future?

Sounds like a valid feature request. Reassigning to kdepim-bugs.
Comment 5 Myriam Schweingruber 2012-08-18 08:43:20 UTC
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.
Comment 6 Christoph Bartoschek 2012-08-18 09:25:54 UTC
As kmail2 seems to not have the feature.
Comment 7 Laurent Montel 2013-09-10 07:41:29 UTC
I implemented it in 4.11
