Just a thought, but isn't it simpler to use Ctrl "+" to jump to
the next unread mail (in any folder)?
I sometimes do this (though I'm no fan of the "jump to next unread folder" feature anyway) and it has two drawbacks: 1. I often have KMail on my second Xinerama screen so I can have a short glimpse to the left to see if any new mail arrived. So the window doesn't (and shouldn't) have the focus (theoretically as I currently have to enable it to scroll down and up again). 2. It also happens that I have new mail which I don't want to read yet (eg. some mailinglists I just read from time to time). If I use Ctrl++ to view the next unread mail and jump into one of those folders I always have to mark the mail I jumped to as unread again because umm.. I haven't read it ;~) I strongly support this wish. Both slrn and Gnus behave this way, and IMHO it is the only sane way to do it. I have around 200 folders myself, plus my company's shared folder hiearchy is around 450 folders. Scrolling through that list is a chore, even though I have a fairly large resolution on the desktop. As Mr. Stretz also points out, many of these folders will receive un-uimportant email, such as mailing lists that I mostly just skim through now and then, while other folders receive only urgent mail I need to read quickly. As my total mail volume is very high, so looping through all unread messages once in a while isn't a substitute for being able to glance at the window to spot if one of the important folders are listed as having new mail. Tore Anderson I wonder how you want to spot the important folders among all the unimportant folders that have new mail? Since KMail does now have a system tray applet which shows the number of unread messages in the folders which should be considered you can easily see whether there are any new messages in important folders. In the development version unimportant folders can be skipped when using Ctrl+Plus/Minus. So the system tray applet in combination with the new behavior of Ctrl+Plus/Minus makes is easy to see whether there are any new messages in important folders and then to jump to those new messages. And on top of that there's a detailed new message notification dialog which lists the important folders which received new mail. I also strongly support this wish and I want to enhance it (rather then posting a new wish). I would like to have different view modes implemented. Not only about folders, also about mails. Crosspoint (my old DOS-Mailprogramm) hat the possibility to only show mails which I received from a date to a another date, or from a date. Kmail has already the possibility to show only mails in a folder with certain attributes. I would like to have the date options added to this and the possibility to have a global variant of this setting to all folders. Meaning, show only folders containing mail with the desired attributes. I would be also cool to combine attributes. This would make it sometimes much easier to find a mail you are looking for, when you can not find it by search. *** Bug 97390 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Twenty years passed. I also would like to have a way to see only folders with unread mails. Have hundreds of folders and even on 1440p screen I see only 33 folder names. Thunderbird has views which show unread folders only as either list of a tree. |
