Description Georg Greve 2009-02-01 14:01:27 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

My wife migrated from Thunderbird to Kmail because she wanted to get the whole KDE 4.2 experience - only to find that Thunderbird had apparently not deleted the spam that she thought she had "deleted".

Result: 66.000 spam messages in the inbox.

What followed was a painful cycle of searching through the inbox for spam messages with the advanced search dialog, followed by a Move to "Deleted Items", followed by a delete from "Deleted Items." As one might expect, moving around the spam mail from folder to folder was slow.

She tried to delete directly from the search dialog, but did not find delete in the menu, and DEL & SHIFT+DEL had no effect.

So it would be great of the search dialog would allow direct deletion of all the mails that matched the search.

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.

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
