Description torsten 2001-08-01 01:25:17 UTC

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kmail
Version:           1.2.3 (using KDE 2.2.0 Beta1)
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 2.95.2.1
OS:                Not Specified
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

in kmail menubar: settings-->configure kmail-->(network icon)

In the lower "incoming mail" dialog - there is no way to switch the order of the pop addresses other than remove/add them.

Problem with this method: need to reenter all the info for the pop mail.  

Solution: Add an up/down arrow to switch the order of mail checked.

Just an idea thanks
Torsten

Just out of curiosity - why would you want such a feature? IMHO it doesn't matter which server is queried first.

Comment 2 Alan Braslau 2008-10-20 16:12:42 UTC

I second this suggestion.
Indeed, the order in which accounts are presented in the "check mail" drop-down menu is according to creation history. As I have many (disconnected imap) accounts that I manually synchronize, it would be convenient to be able to find them in a long list according to a more logical order.

Also, as the folder view is now sorted alphabetically, I must prefix the account names with a sort letter or number in order to see them with the appropriate grouping. This is less than ideal. Not sure what to suggest, other than some option under the account menu, as one wants to retain sorting of the folders under each account.

Thanks
Alan

E-Mail accounts are checked in parallel currently. I'm wondering too: Why should I need this?

Because the Check Mail button can bring down a menu allowing one
to launch a mail update on a single, selected account.
The order of the menu listing should be configurable.

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.

Comment 8 Luigi Toscano 2012-08-19 01:12:58 UTC

Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
