Description Claudia Raspl 2002-08-05 05:51:19 UTC

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

Package:           kmail
Version:           KDE 3.0.0 
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Not Specified
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

It would be nice to have an menuentry at the right mouse click for an email to specify a reminder until when the email should be answered. Once done for a special email address this reminder always starts whenever a new message comes from this emailaddress and stops automatically when I answer the email. But when I didn't answer within the specified time I will get a reminder that I should answer the email.

#1
I think, Outlook has something like this: Mail follow up.

Maybe this could be solved using existing features: When a mail needs to be answered at a specific time, add a task associated with that email, expiring at the particular point of time. The task will pop up a reminder leading back to the email - everything is fine.

Although this could be done manually, some automation might be nice.


#2
As far as I know, a message can be marked as task. The only effect at the moment is, the message gets a special icon. If the message were associated with a real task and the edit-task dialog would be opened, one can add notes and a date of expiration - everything is fine again.

[FIXED] Right click to message and choose option: Create To Do/Reminder. There are a lot options about reminding

Comment 6 Bernd Oliver Sünderhauf 2012-12-02 12:24:59 UTC

Creating a reminder attaching a message item is possible, yes.
But actually, as both the summary and the original report clearly state, this request is more about an auto-reminder, for example per sender address.

While the exact logic remains to be carefully determined, this request remains valid for kmail2, probably component "general". Please reopen and reassign.

Comment 7 Bernd Oliver Sünderhauf 2012-12-02 12:44:42 UTC

Alternatively, please mark this one a duplicate of Bug #252402, which deals with the same idea of an autoreminder proposing a very reasonable filter approach.

I reopened https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=252402 and assigned to Akonadi as you suggested. Sorry for having closed this, was part of KMail1 bugs cleaning.
Thanks a lot for your follow up.
