Version: 1.11.2 (using KDE 4.2.2) OS: Linux Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Kmail has the option to assign folders to mailinglists (or vice versa). The option to assign contacts/email-adresses to folders would extend on it. (And complement the "copy sent to current folder" option of bug #193786). The workflow when you want to write to A_contact might look like this: 1) You go into the folder where your filters move all the messages that go "FROM: A_contact TO: your_account". (You might be looking what was up last time.) 2) You press the "new" button to compose a message. 3) Kmail would automatically fill the To: field with the A_contact. This could be specified as a folder preference like the mailinglist feature. 4) The sent message gets automaticaly saved in the current folder. (This might be specified globaly or as folder preference? Wish #193786) -> The folder will hold your full communication with A_contact nicely treaded.
Just realizing that browsing your folders and then pressing the "New Message" button could actually be a way to go through your contacts. Maybe think of this further as an alternative interface to the address book, with some auto-folder and auto-filter fuctionality.

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.
yes, I find this necessary to coming back to kmail
