Version: 1.8.1 (using KDE 3.4.1, Debian Package 4:3.4.1-1 (3.1)) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.6 (Debian 1:3.3.6-5) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.12-1-686-smp In OS X's mail client when you send an e-mail and it actually sends you hear a 'wooosh' noise like a jet taking off or something fast going by. It is a nice usability feature that reassures you that the message was sent. Oh and it makes my wife smile every time. I want to smile too :(
How about this: Define a filter for size >= 0 which applies on outgoing messages. Add Play a Sound as filter action and select the sound file you want to have played. Put this new filter as first in your list.
You don't think this would be a good thing to have by default? I know that I can do it right now using the notification system, just thinking for the default case.
I wonder if there's a way to implement this without complicating the interface by having an option to turn it off. Or cluttering the list of filters by inserting a default filter to apply to sent messages. But maybe this wouldn't be so bad.
Interestingly there is a thread on kde-core-devel which concludes in having less options in the applications. Thiago suggested scriptability which is in some way similar to what I had suggested in comment #1. As KMail was particularly mentioned on kde-core-devel, I feel there is a wide gap between what the wishes on bko "demand" and the issues the developer see high priority in and last but not least what the usability experts think making sense.
The reason I submitted this was it is one of the few examples where adding a sound provides valuable user feedback. Events such as "Mail has been sent" should already be in the Notification system. Right now the only notification is "New mail arrived". It don't expect extra options to be added as that would be way more work then adding a new notification.
Ah, I understand. I agree with what you explained.
