Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.2) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Compiler: gcc 3.4.5 OS: Linux KMail doesn't check if it is minimized when automatically marking e-mails as read. This is especially annoying when using the system tray to display unread messages. Example: 1) Activate the system tray icon and set KMail to check for mails every x minutes, 2) send yourself an e-mail, 3) go to the folder the e-mail sent in 2) will appear in, so the new mail will automatically get selected when it arrives, 4) minimize KMail, 5) wait x minutes for KMail to automatically fetch the mail. Result: The new e-mail does not show up as unread message (or only shows up unread for a few seconds, if you set "Marked messages as read" to something > 0) in the system tray, because it got automatically marked read even though you haven't actually read it, because KMail was minimized.
I confirm this behaviour. If the inbox is empty and kmail receives a new e-mail message, kmail will still open the new e-mail message and mark it as read, even if kmail's window is out of focus or kmail is minimized to the tray.
Oh I'm runnning KDE 3.5.4 (kubuntu package) and kmail 1.9.4 through kontact.

The issue is a bit different on my IMAP account: 1. Setup a rule for "From" contains "@mydomain...." with action "move to mymail/private" 2. Send yourself a mail 3. After synchronization, mail is fetched and moved as unread to mymail/private; 4. don't go to the folder just start another synchronization 5. This will mark the unread mail in all subfolders as read. This behaviour is annoying since I synchronize automatically quite often and it's hard to find incoming mails again which are marked as read.

Behaviour of my Kmail installation: After making a filter whith action "Move to folder" when incoming message fits to rule and is moved to dest folder, it is automatically marked as read. If I have dest folder open in Kmail i can see that email is marked as new only for half a second and then his state changes automatically to read. Even if there is added an action: Mark message as new after action Move message, email does not remain new in destination folder.
