Description Michael Brandl 2006-02-26 21:53:15 UTC
Version:           1.9.1 (using KDE 3.5.0, Kubuntu Package 4:3.5.0-0ubuntu0breezy2 )
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.12-10-686

In the case that you have more than one mailaccount in your kmail, it would be nice if some folders are summerized. So for example, that you see only one inbox and there is the whole content of all the mailaccount. So you see one virtual inbox. Only those folders, which are unique for one account should be in an seperat branch of the folder-tree. There should be a dialog, in which one could configure which folders are connected to a virtual one.

I would like to see this feature too. 

- For this virtual folder, you should be able to cherry pick the folders you want to monitor for new messages. Some of my folders are for archiving purpose, I don't monitor those.

- Be able to create more than one of them. That's because I don't want to see my work mail on freetime. 

- I could perhaps be nice that you could combine this functionality to the actual inbox, but for me another 'virtual inbox' would be enough. 

It would be nice that you could have a column where would be a gray button widget for new mails with label 'mark read' or 'read' and column title could would state 'mark'.

Then if you would see from the title that this is something you're not intrested, you would just press the button and it would disappear from the virtual view/your inbox. It would not be moved anywhere as it was in its target folder already.

In overall, this asked functionality resembles somewhat the Pine's 'select+zoom' which is powerful feature.

This is quite advanced email client functionality and it only tells that KMail has reached a level where it's the best mail client and these wishes tell that people really use it daily basis. Thanks for the developers for creating it! :)

A bit similar bugs: bug #6105, bug #27931 but I think this one spells it out clearly and is still open.

Can anyone change the subject of this bug to something more descriptive? Not everybody knows what kind of sw Mac has. Something like 'Virtual folders for new messages'

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.
