Quick filters bar in Thunderbird
Not so quick filters in KMail
Filterbar obscures searchbar
Filterbar obscures searchbar full window

Description m.wege 2012-02-08 16:58:05 UTC
Version:           1.6.6 (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

I would like to see the filterbar in the message list implemented in a similar
way like in thunderbird. I will attach a screenshot of their filterbar. Their
way of filterbar has following advantages:
- filter criteria (unreadsare accessible faster since there is no dropdown menu
necessary.
- filter criteria can be combined.
- There is a "sticky" item, which allows to choose if the filter should remain
in effect, if you change the mail folder.
Furtheremore I would like to suggest to implement an additional filter critera:
Filter by date range (from/(to)).
I filed this wish item also with Kmail

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See above

Actual Results:

Expected Results:

Quick filters bar in Thunderbird

Thunderbird 115+ has set of buttons for quick filtering message list. They are more handy than clicking on 'filter' icon in KMail where you can choose which option(s) you want.

Filterbar obscures searchbar

Hi, is it still possible to restore the old Filter dropdown? The new implementation almost completely elides the search bar, even for wide message list column (see attachment). There seems to be no UI to move the filter bar or resize it.

Which size do you use .???
For sure we can't restore old filter dropdown.
Comment 9 A. Kelly 2024-08-31 16:38:11 UTC
What do you mean which size? 
It's a 1080p 96 DPI screen. The message list column is now set to its minimum size, it used to be able to be smaller.

I have the same I use same layout no problem but for sure if you try to reduce to minimum column size you will have pb.
but you can increase it => no problem.

If I increase it that will just make the message preview pane smaller, which I would like to keep as big as possible to, you know, read e-mail.
Comment 15 Laurent Montel 2024-08-31 17:14:57 UTC
you can change layout and put message previous under list of messages

What do you mean?
Comment 17 Laurent Montel 2024-08-31 17:17:59 UTC
kmail->configure->appearance->layout-> Message preview pane: => show the message preview pane below the message list

Then you cannot see the message list as easily?
