Description Louis Rush 2003-07-19 21:21:37 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          GCC 3.2.2 
OS:          Linux

The ability to see diagnostic information about filters can be helpful for troubleshooting long/complicated filtering lists or finding out why a message was or was not filtered.

Currently you can add an X-Header to find out what filters had filtered an individual message.  However, this does not provide enough information about the filters themselves.

Personally I would like to see:
   When a filter was created
   When a filter was last sucesfully used (old filters can be removed if they are no longer relevant)
   How many times a filter has generated a hit.

This would enable the user to see what filters are and are not working for them, and enable them to decide when/if changes to their current filtering processing are needed.

+ ability to search through filters 
  (so one can quickly find and remove duplicate entries)

> How many times a filter has generated a hit.

+ sort selected filters by "filter usage" . so one can put most used (most hits) filters on top of filter list.

KMail has a Filter Log Viewer (in Tools) which can be used to debug filters.

Searching filters with a Quick Search lineedit would be nice.

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.

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