Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.0) 
OS:                Linux

Using beta 3 with KDE 4.5.1

See attached image. The folders seen to be randomly sorted, and sometimes they are reshuffled to another apparently random order. IMHO Local folders should be before or after all online resources, and inside local folders inbox should be on top and user created folders at the bottom.

Reproducible: Always

I have the same issue with KMail 2.1.0 (KDE 4.6.4 on Gentoo/Linux).

This is very irritating especially since it can happen also while in the middle of a drag&drop, moving the destination folder out of view. Also, it always (or almost) happen after the drag&drop is completed.
There is an option which sounds like it should prevent this from happening (right-clicking on the "name" label, there is a "Sort items" section). But that does not work: even after selecting "Manually", I couldn't change the order of the main folders by drag&drop and the order kept changing on each update of... something KMail knows but I don't.
Plus, that setting (as the folder icons too) is forgotten on the next restart. But this is probably worth another bug about "forgotten settings".

Is this bug related to bug #282189 ?
Comment 3 Antonio Rojas 2011-09-18 17:40:48 UTC
The random order and reshuffling are fixed in 4.7.1. The special folders issue is #282189, so this one can be closed.
