Description Peter Eisentraut 2003-12-06 14:35:23 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.4)
OS:          Linux

One feature I found very useful in pine but miss in KMail: In the message list, there is a mark indicating whether the email was addressed directly to me (rather than just to some mailing list that I'm subscribed to). In pine's text mode, that mark is a "+" if I'm in To:, a "-" if I'm in Cc, and a space if neither. (Of course in KMail this could be a graphic.) That way I can easily identify messages that fellow developers address directly to my attention, and it identifies messages that belong to threads that I have previously contributed to (because then I'll be in Cc).

The webmailer IMP <http://www.horde.org/> for example calls them "personal" e-mails and shows a little face-icon in the folder index next to e-mails which have one of your identities in To, CC, etc.

You can simply add a filter which marks incoming messages, with a header [to] equals to your email adres, as important for example.  Since this resolves your issue and is pretty simple, I'll close this as wontfix.
Comment 3 Peter Eisentraut 2004-07-25 16:29:37 UTC 
No, this is not an acceptable solution, because it doesn't work well if I access my email via IMAP and varying mail clients.  Because the other mail clients do support this feature.

Ok. I'll reopen it. I don't think this will be fixed soon, but if someone provides a nice patch we'll consider it...
Comment 5 Myriam Schweingruber 2012-08-18 09:02:37 UTC 
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.
Comment 6 Luigi Toscano 2012-08-19 00:58:41 UTC 
Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
