Version: (using KDE 3.5.9) Currently the main KMail window is synchronized with search dialog when you double click on the item, it would be good to have the ability to synchronize on every change, I mean, you move up in the search results, KMail immediately updates its state and shows the message (preview). Focus remains in the search window though! If the main window is in the background it stays that way -- it is only an update of the message, nothing more.
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.
