Description David Bishop 2002-05-13 22:58:02 UTC

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

Package:           kmail
Version:           KDE 3.0.5 CVS/CVSup/Snapshot
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          2.95.4
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

With the "encryption icon" turned on in the message list every message gets the double question mark until I manually click on it (this is upgrading from a previous version of KMail without that icon). I have *way* too many messages to click on every one :-)  Perhaps a backgrounded process the first time it starts up that checks all the messages (akin to the conversion scripts)? Or at least a way to select all and have it check them that way.

Running latest qt-copy kdenetwork cvs up'd/compiled as of an hour ago.

I don't think you understand.  I'm talking about email that I have already 
downloaded and "processed" i.e. it's local (no more downloading required 
at least for non-imap).  And this would only have to happen once as every 
other email is "processed" as soon as it comes in.  Does this make sense? I 
have 10K+ emails already in KMail's folders.  And the performance decrease 
isn't really applicable because I'm not asking for a change in the *normal* 
operation just something akin to kmailcvt that would "convert" the messages 
to have the right icon (non-double?).  Of course this would only make sense 
if the bug you mention below is fixed :-)

I figured so so I wasn't worrying about it.

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 4 Luigi Toscano 2012-08-19 01:09:47 UTC

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