Description E.T. Anderson 2012-05-25 01:52:03 UTC

I have several filter rules where multiple actions are specified, such as 1. move to folder X and 2. mark message as read. Kmail will do whatever action is specified first, but will not perform subsequent actions. If mark as read is first, the message will be marked as read but not moved to folder X. If move to folder is first, the message will be moved, but not marked as read.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a filter with multiple actions
2. Check email
Actual Results:  
Kmail will apply only the first of the rules you specify in the filter.

Expected Results:  
Kmail should apply all actions within a filter. If I went to the trouble to specify to move to a folder AND mark as read, I expect Kmail to perform BOTH actions, not one or the other.

Please note that I am not talking about multiple filters, I am talking about multiple actions within a single filter.

I thought I entered the Kmail version as part of the bug, but it's 4.8.2, the package for Ubuntu 12.04

Only one of the two actions will work. Either "mark as read" OR "move to folder" work by themselves, but when the two are combined in one filter, only one is executed.

Here's a filter that exhibits the bug:

[Filter #0]
Applicability=0
AutomaticName=true
ConfigureShortcut=false
ConfigureToolbar=false
Enabled=true
Icon=system-run
StopProcessingHere=false
ToolbarName=<Subject>: Packet Loss
action-args-0=Work/Inbox/Packet Loss
action-args-1=R
action-name-0=transfer
action-name-1=set status

Hi,
I tried it on my machine. No problem here!
Maybe it is already fixed?

KDE 4.8.4, fedora 17

I just tested in 4.9.2 and it works as expected. Please reopen if you still see the bug with the latest version.
