*** Bug 93427 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 81936 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. *** thats good. It is an issue for me as well. Indeed, "Mark all messages as read" is still disabled (after four years) for a folder containing subfolders. This recursive action would be very useful. Could it now be fixed for KDE4.1? Thanks Problem is that the top folder does not notice when a subfolder contains unread mails. That's why it is greyed out. *** Bug 191219 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This feature request is still valid for KMail 2 In 4.7.x/4.8 we can select multi folder and apply "mark all as read" I will not add this feature because if I have (as in my KMail) -> KDE -> kde-pim -> kde-commit -> kde-devel if by error I click "mark all as read" all my subfolder will make as read. I want to define which folder I want to mark as read. And I will not add an other menu entry for it. Kmail has already a lot of menu entry Created attachment 95421 [details]
Importing mails mark them as unread. Not good.
Please consider this use case then : 1) Do not put anymore option in the context menu -> Add a line in the 'Folder' menu like "Mark all message as read, including the subfolders", which will then ask which folder you want to select for this action (although this is cumbersome and perhaps you could find a way to just display a modal window when using the context menu 'Mark all as read' when it detects that some subfolders have unread message ?) 2) Try importing a massive email archive, with thousands of mails, and, more importantly, thousands of folders. When you import those message, they magically appears as unread, so you have to manually 'mark as read' *every single folders*, which means doing that thousands of time. Boring, Annoying, and totally Unnecessary. You do want user to switch to kmail don't you? Please take a look at the attached screencapture, and cry with me while I'll right click 'Mark as read' 950+ more times :'( (Yes, do look at that scrollbar size.)
