Description Malte S. Stretz 2010-04-29 14:31:11 UTC

Version:           1.13.2 (using 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.32-21-generic

I just tried to move 5000 or 6000 mails or so from one IMAP folder to another.  That took ages (and crashed KMail, see bug 235715).  While it was moving mails, KMail was still responsive but I wasn't able to switch folders, I guess because the refresh job was queued after all the move jobs.

If possible, IMAP jobs which are triggered by a direct user request (eg. click on a folder) should be prepended to the job queue when it contains background jobs already.

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.
