Description Parameshwara Bhat 2010-03-11 04:13:45 UTC

Version:           1.13.1 (using 4.4.1 (KDE 4.4.1) "release 227", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.2)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.31.12-0.1-desktop

After update from kde 4.3.5,(what was kmail version?I do not remember) to 4.4.1,I have lost the icons for sorting,aggregation and theme from the message list toolbar(with the search).
Those icons I had found very handy and moving to the menu now is inconvenient.(I almost never use menu).
Can we have the menu back?Better still,configurability for this toolbar?

Thanks,

No, we deliberately removed those icons, they were a big usability problem for most people.

You can now instead configure the theme/aggregation/sort order in the following places:
- "View->Message List" menu
- Folder properties dialog (for per-folder settings)
- By right-clicking on the headers (if you have a theme with headers)
- In the configuration dialog (for global settings)

I think if per folder if we can set only messages of a certain status can be viewed.That way,I can set my inbox to show only unread messages and show other only when I need.

Now,for each folder I have to reselect.I have 5 mail accounts.That is a small nuisance.should I file a wish list for this?
