Version: (using KDE 4.2.1) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages This is kmail 4:4.2.1-1 Debian "experimental" packages, cached imap against dovecot mbox storage. AFAIK all of kdepim is at this version. Please tell me if you need more information. (Libraries and other dependencies should be from at least Debian lenny, often because of versioned dependencies from sid/experimental, too.) Every time I quit kmail, it has completely forgotten the "ignored" state of email threads in all folders. As you can imagine this is extremely annoying for reading high traffic mailing lists. kmail in KDE 4 is quite a bit improved, thanks a lot, but this is a MAJOR annoyance :-(
Hmm. I'm now on Debian's 4:4.2.2-1 packages (unstable, not experimental anymore) and have in the process lost the whole ~/.kde dir (my fault, not KDE's) so the settings should be clean. It's now not always, but the "Ignored" flag sometimes still disappears. I'm not entirely sure if it's only kmail quit/start that triggers it, or if it happens even without quitting kmail. (And I don't like to restart kmail too often since I have to rearrange the columns in the header pane everytime. I think I've filed a bug about that, too.) Thank you for your attention

The ignore flag always disappears for me after restarting Kontact. KDE4.3RC2 Kubuntu 9.04 'backport' packages. This is really, really annoying to anyone who deals with, for instance, high traffic mailing lists.
Fixed for me in Kubuntu's KDE4.3-RC3 packages.
thanks for noticing. closing then.
Sorry to reopen this, but it's not fixed. Can I help you somehow? I tried to look where the ignored flag was saved but the code is not very user friendly for somebody not knowing KDE code :-( Debian 4.3 packages (kdepim/libs 4:4.3.0-1); cached imap against dovecot with mbox storage. How to reproduce: * set ignored flag. * stop / start kmail -> flag is still there * retrieve new mail, new mail comes into thread with ignored flag set -> flag is gone. So it's not the stopping/starting kmail that's the problem but the receiving new email into the folder. (And yes, I did restart kmail after upgrading, so it's not an old kmail binary in memory.) cheers -- vbi
Confirmed - this was fixed for me in Kubuntu's KDE4.3 last RC packages, but is busted in the actual release :-(
Kubuntu's 9.10 release appears to fix this again. It reports KDE 4.3.2.
I run KDE 4.3.2 on Debian and the bug ist still there :-(
Hmm, OK, it's still not working right after all. While the program is running, all is fine and new mail in ignored threads are marked ignored (once I click into the folder). However emails that arrive while the program is turned off and then retrieved (disconnected IMAP if it matters) and added to the thread are not marked ignored (they show up as new, with all the other ones in the thread ignored). If that is what others are seeing I've raised a separate bug (as the symptoms are different) as #213456.

Still busted in the current Lucid beta :-/
Created attachment 42484 [details] This is not a good user experience after seeing 'new unread mail' popup notification Clearly the user intent here was never to see new posts in the thread, yet it is marked new (and unread) and unignored.
This is apparently two different bugs. What Tom sees in #13 happens to me if I have the folder open while I fetch new mail. (kmail 4.4.7 as packaged in Debian). The issue I originally had (ignored flags disappearing globally) apparently depends on the mail server. I switched from Dovecot 1:1.0.15-2.3+lenny1 on mbax storage to Dovecot 1:1.2.15-3 on maildir storage, and my original issue seems to be fixed.

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report. KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2. We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
