Description Gerd v. Egidy 2003-02-08 00:40:05 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
OS:          Linux

I'm using several IMAP accounts for different addresses. I want to be able to configure a notification for one account but not for the others.

One of my accounts is for personal email, another one for mailinglists. I want to get notified if real mail comes in but not if there is a new mail on linux-kernel...

It would be perfect if you could also limit notifications to specific IMAP folders (I do not want to get notified if my sieve script dropped something into my "Spam" subfolder...)

You can exclude accounts from the check, isn't that what you want?

Comment 2 Gerd v. Egidy 2003-02-08 15:08:02 UTC

No, then I won't see that there are new mails in the folders until I explicitly open them (the counter 
in the "Unread" column won't increase). As I'm subscribet to about 20 mailinglists and have a 
separate subfolder for each (mails distributed into the folders by a sieve script) that is not what I 
want.

I only have one account, but I would like the ability to turn on/off
notification on a per folder basis.  When I am working I don't really want to
have to guess if the new message is from a mailing list (which can be read in my
spare time) or from someone who might need a quicker response.

An additional item (if this should go into another wishlist item then let me
know and I will do that) that would be useful if/and when a color can be
assigned to a sender would be to have the new mail notification dialogue box
display say up to 5 colors based on who sent the message.  For instance my boss
is set to display blue and my wife red.  I could know via the notification
dialogue whether the message was from my wife or my boss.  If there were more
than the maximum number that could be displayed this could be noted.  Maybe it
would be noted by displaying 4 colors and then ... in place of the 5th color or
something like that.

Sorry for the extra messages to the kmail list, but I just noticed another
related bug report.  If it helps w/ the bug accounting it seems like bug 54332
is basically a duplicate of this bug (54268) or that adding this feature could
easily add the feature described in that bug (54332).

Comment 5 Mitsu Hadeishi 2003-05-14 21:24:33 UTC

Sorry for all the kmail list bugs, I'm just noting that this bug is also very
closely related to (or a duplicate of) bug 37681.

You can prevent teh notification on new mail on a per folder basis (KMail 1.8 / KDE 3.4).
