Description Gunter Ohrner 2018-09-01 09:36:23 UTC

I just updated from kMail 5.8.x to 5.9.0 and kMail now suddenly pops up a confirmation dialog asking if I really want to delete a message whenever I press Ctrl-Del in the message list.

Is there any way to disable it, it could not find any setting in the application properties to disable this dialog, and the dialog itself also does not offer a "Never Ask Again" option.

My usual workflow is to select a mail in the message list, quickly scan its preview and then delete it for good if it's not relevant. I receive many mails which I just have to check and which I then can dismiss immediately after, so it's really important for convenience that I'm *not* forced to confirm some kind of dialog for every single mail I want to get rid of...

Starting with KMail 5.9.1, there is a hidden configuration option to disable the message box, see https://cgit.kde.org/kmail.git/commit/?id=8316c7a83c068cf102985166a7de5144a4e23fbf

A future commit might re-add the GUI setting.

Thanks, works for me. A proper configuration option would be desirable, though.

And it's always annoying if useful and convenient features suddenly disappear (or get cleverly hidden...) from one release to another, which already happened to me several times in case of kMail...
