Description Armin 2009-03-21 06:12:56 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

On the top right hand side of the main window, there are a few tiny buttons on the right of the search bar.  The first one says "Filter by status."  When I press that button and choose "unread" or "new," the next time I start kmail, it is gone back to "Any status."  A more sane behavior would be that it retains its status from last session.

Also, in the current kmail session, if I set the status to "unread" and check all of my mail, the next time I press "Check mail," the mailbox view doesn't refresh, and therefore, after pressing "check mail," it shows me the previously unread (but now read) emails along with new unread emails.  This behavior is unexpected.  kmail should refresh the mailbox each time "check mail" is pressed if there is a status set for the mailbox view (e.g. "unread").

Thank you for your consideration,
Armin Moradi

This is a mix of bugs:
bug 180561 (save and restore)
bug 184627 (save and restore)(duplicated)

The view refresh with the filter works for me in kmail 1.11.90 (kde 4.2.67).

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2.

We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
