Description Thomas Reitelbach 2004-01-02 12:43:24 UTC

Version:           1.5.94 (using KDE 3.1.94 (CVS >= 20031206), compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.1
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.6.0

Kmail treats messages in my sent-mail folder as "new".
This is what happens here:

I've configured my identity to store sent mail into an imap folder.
Now when i send a new mail (to myself for testing purposes for example), the message gets copied into my sent-mail folder.
On next mail check KMail reports one "new" mail in that sent-mail folder.
Now i open this folder and see my just sent mail with the usual 2 question marks (signature/encryption etc.). I click on the mail to view it in the preview pane, which loads the message from the server. Now i change back to my inbox and check for new mail, the unread-count disappears.
This does not happen when using a local folder for my sent mail.

BTW: This configuration has been running here since ages without any problem and with different imap servers, this bug must have been introduced in the recent past.

Greetings and a happy new year :-)
Thomas
