Both things are possible in kdepim-3.3. Previously it would only offer deleting (which is what you want anyway). I double-checked why I missed 'Old Message Expiry' and I found the reason: I use IMAP! And it seems the whole message expiry functionality works only for local folders. So there is next (maybe the most important) thing in this bug: provide message expiration for IMAP folders too.

It's available for IMAP folders too in the upcoming 3.3.
I confirm that old message handling for IMAP is working in KDE 3.3.1 I currently use. So the missing things in this bug are: [x] remove oldest messages when there is more than [500] messages in the folder [x] remove oldest messages when the total folder size is greater than [5MB] BTW, as the need for such option arises from using mailing lists, one more idea comes to mind: set such size limit for all mailing lists used together (yeah, I am following INN lessons and different expiry options) *** Bug 71447 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 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. @Myriam, I'd say that KMail1 is in deep maintenance mode. Intevation and KDAB still maintain the the enterprise35 functionality of KMail(1). I agree that wishes and reports should now be verified against "Kontact Mail" Thanks for responding to the reporter and helping to triage reports! This is really important! |
