Description Nicolas Girard 2005-05-15 17:06:32 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

Disclaimer: as my locales are in french, the kmail items I'm talking about may not be accurately named.

Problem: although feature-rich, kmail still doesn't solve (at least to me) this legitimate need: to be notified only for a chosen, small subset of incoming emails.

Proposed solution: there's a simple, trivial, already-existing way of selecting this subset of mails to be notified: the "Follow discussion" property. Up to know it is only but a graphical way of distinguish some threads from the other ones.

But kmail could also provide sush "New mail in followed discussion" notification, which would give the "Follow discussion" property much more sense and power.

This way, an incoming email belonging to a discussion marked as "followed" would trigger the "New mail in followed discussion" notification.

That's it. Sounds simple and useful to me.
What do you think ?

Sorry, this report should be turned to a "whish". I always forget where to change "bug" into "whish" using the bug wizard :-/

This seems to be related with bug 54268, bug 54332, and bug 37681.

Well, not really:

- #37681 is closed;
- #54332 is titled "Different sound settings for each Kmail folder".
         Granularity of notifications: folder
- #54268 is titled "New mail notification per account [...]"
         Granularity of notifications: account

Notice that the granularity of notifications I'm considering is *discussion*. This is the only granularity which really makes sense to me.

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.
