Description heikki 2002-11-07 11:32:31 UTC

Version:           1.3.2 (using KDE KDE 1.2)
Installed from:    Debian stable Packages
OS:          Linux

As an old-time mutt user I am used to storing all
mails to their own folders after reading them.
When I press 's' in mutt, it asks which 
folder to store in, with a default that comes 
from the address of the sender. Normally I
just accept that. So, saving mails away is a
two-keystroke operation. With Kmail I have to 
pull down Message/MoveTo/Server/Folder, and
choose from a list of 200 folders. This 
is far too slow and cumbersome.

Could you not add a function Save-To-Named-Folder,
that would ask for the folder (with suitable
default value (heikki@lsd.dk -> folderpath/heikki).
I would be satisfied if this feature 
was not in the menus, as long as I could
tie a keystroke to it.

I had a similar gripe about kmail, from my habbit of quickly saving messages to folders using 
pine's S command. 
 
A kmail developer kindly pointed out to me that in kmail you can use M to Move a message to 
a folder. A list of folders pops up, and as you type the first few letters of the folder it 
incrementally moves to the one you want. 
 
It's fairly nicely done I think.

But unfortunately moving messages with M is not that convenient, see
Bug 49780: most recently used targets for Move To/Copy To wanted
Bug 78234: Move Dialog needs to remember collapsed folder states 
and here typing the name of the folder does nothing at all.

Hmm, I don't see your point.
