Description Milian Wolff 2012-02-10 19:22:11 UTC

Version:           Git (master)
OS:                Linux

I really like to walk through my new email via shortcuts that jump to next/prev unread email. But with kmail2 this is not so nice anymore: as soon as a folder has multiple unread emails, and you step through these quickly with the shortcut above, you will sooner or later "cycle", i.e. re-visit one of these "unread" emails - even though you just read it...

kmail2 seems to take quite some time (~1s+) until it has applied the "mark as read" action it seems...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
multiple (N) unread mails in a folder
quickly press "next unread mail" shortcut repeatedly (N+x times)


Actual Results:  
you'll "cycle" through the unread emails

Expected Results:  
stop after having seen all N emails

marking as wish - not sure whether you guys think it's a bug or not...

There is (now) an option to set the mark-as-read needed time. If you set it to 0 seconds, it is instantaneous (for me).
