Description Tro 2005-12-02 01:03:20 UTC
Version:           1.9 (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
OS:                Linux

Starting with KMail 1.9 Ctrl+Shift++ no longer moves to the next unread folder. Instead, it moves to the next unread folder, which has the "Act on new/unread mail in this folder" property set. This can be seen as a feature, but it's actually disrupting. I don't want to be notified when I get list-mail, but I still want to be able to look through it when using the keyboard shortcut. The ony way I see right now to get to the folders without that property set is to Ctrl+Right/Left to them first and then Ctrl+Space to actually open them. Two shortcuts instead of one.

Maybe it's possible to move the new way of browsing unread folders into its own shortcut?

AOL.

I'm a heavy 'space reader', especially on mailing lists: space to scroll through the mail, space to move to the next unread message, move with space and 'i'(gnore thread) through the folder, and then I want to move with space to the next unread folder.  And really the next one.

Nonetheless, I don't want a new mail notification everytime one of the ca. 30 mailing lists I'm subscribed to receives a mail...

"I don't want to be notified when I get list-mail, but I still want to be able to look through it when using the keyboard shortcut"

Exactly!

The current behavior is certainly a bug, both from a usability point of view and from a uniform logical point of vew: for instance, when you're operating
within a 'Do not act of new/unread mail' enabled/toggled folder, the 'Next/Prevous Unread Message' works as expected.

If a significant amount of people prefered the old/existing behaviorial - then I'm thinking the best fix/compromise would be to:

Allow the 'do not act upon unread message' feature to not override/interfere with the 'Next/Previous Unread Message' shortcuts, MUT to (possibly) include a new: 'Next/Previous unacted unread messages'shortcuts ( or something to that affect ).

CORRECTION:

llow the 'do not act upon unread message' feature to not override/interfere with the 'Next/Previous Unread _FOLDER_' shortcuts,

Sorry.

SVN commit 1008553 by mkoller:

FEATURE: 117477

add a new "loop on goto unread messages" option: LoopInAllMarkedFolders
which only checks the folders which are marked as "act on unread mail"
and modify the current LoopInAllFolders to loop really in _all_ folders
