Description Maciej Pilichowski 2007-11-13 12:43:21 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

Status flag "important" should have impact and meaning on such operation as delete.

Please add maybe a checkbox to the confirmation dialog if there any important messages, and if there are, set it to turned off. It would be useful also to add info "there are 5 important messages".

This just a suggestion, but a wish in general is -- keep user warned about deleting important messages.
Comment 1 Arthur Knight Hammer 2009-01-05 14:44:49 UTC
This wish is sufficiently similar to my own wish that I would like
to append to this rather than create a new wish.

I have several folders that are usually spam, ie, info@mywebsite.org,
and there is much deleting to do, but there are a few jewels amongst
the turds.

Jewels occassionally get deleted by mistake because of the repetitive
delete requests and because some messages take time to delete (the
oriental character ones take several seconds).  The "Important" flag
doesn't protect these messages.

I have sought through the menu structures of Kontact to find an email
lock that would protect a message from erasure, but I find none.
This would be a valued and used feature if it were available.  I would
expect it to be under Message->Mark Message->Lock Message which would
put a little lock icon on the message, or, because of additional
functionality beyond a simple mark, Message->Protect Message
