Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages After a "fetch" operation on my IMAP server kmail automatically selects the email that was open when I last exited the application. If the application has been open for a while this means that the selected email could be a quite old one. What I'd expect is that kmail should remember which mail I was looking at or perhaps select the newest "already read" email. Definitly not the email that was selected when I closed the application the lst time. This is also reported in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdepim/+bug/156606
