Description Diego Ercolani 2022-01-11 16:19:21 UTC

SUMMARY
It would be useful to create a calendar appointment directly from email-message.
Google Mail permit it and it is very useful.

Comment 1 Laurent Montel 2022-01-11 16:50:43 UTC

Right click on email -> create event or create note etc.

Comment 2 gjditchfield 2022-01-11 17:25:16 UTC

... or, in KMail, use menu item Message > Create Event.
... or, in Kontact, drag the mail message to the Calendar icon in the sidebar.

Comment 3 Diego Ercolani 2022-01-12 14:24:23 UTC

I'm sorry, in my implementation kontact/kmail doesn't have these functions.
I have openSUSE 15.3 :
kmail-20.04.2-bp153.3.2.1.x86_64

I can only create task, and if I drag the message under calendar it creates a entry in calendar but with only akonadi:?item=1363227&type=message/rfc822&parent=34 or similar as subject.

Probably I have only to wait new packages...

Comment 4 Laurent Montel 2022-01-12 14:42:12 UTC

Look at kmail->configure->plugin => activate it if disabled.

message_contextual_menu

This is the message contextual menu even with the plugin enabled. The strange thing is that in the contextual menu I had "add followup reminder..." even with this option disabled. And Yes I restarted kmail (and akonadi)

This particular problem should be fixed in version 5.19.0 (21.12.0).  See bug 404588.

Using version 5.19.1, the "Create Event/Task/Note" context menu items appear and disappear correctly when I toggle the plugin settings.

However ... when I first tested this, the menu items were present even though the plugin settings were unchecked!
