Description Raphael Kubo da Costa 2009-06-29 06:57:46 UTC

Version:           svn r988791 (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Currently, all three choices for the "When entering a folder" option imply that a message will be opened.

When selecting one of the first two choices, an unread/new message will be opened and marked as read. When selecting the last choice, I may have read a message and marked it as unread; the next time I open that folder, the message will be opened and marked as read again.

Ultimately, I'd like a way to just list the messages in a folder without risking marking a message I intentionally left unread as read automatically.

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.

Comment 3 Raphael Kubo da Costa 2012-08-21 02:08:31 UTC

Yes, this is still valid for KMail2. I've changed the Product field accordingly.

Comment 4 Bernd Oliver Sünderhauf 2012-11-29 12:12:44 UTC

I second that. It's a very reasonable feature request.
Is it possible to show the message list without marking any message?
