(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kmail Version: 1.2 (KDE 2.1 Beta 2) Severity: wishlist Installed from: Debian unstable (Sid) Compiler: gcc version 2.95.3 20010111 (prerelease) OS: Linux 2.4.1-pre9 i686 (Debian Package 4:2.1-beta2-3 (testing/unstable)) It would be nice if one could give Names to the filters one has defined for kmail. These could then be displayed in the filter configuration dialog instead of the complicated and not so easy to read "<from:>someone@anywhere.org" lines which do not always fit into the widget. It would also be nice if one could group filters together to make arrangements like the nested mailbox folders. This would make it possible to e.g. group all filters dealing with mailing lists together under a folder "Mailinglist filters". The filters would the be applied one folder after another and filter by filter in the indicated order (just the way it is now just recursively through the folders) BTW: Kmail is great! ;-) Patrick (submitted via bugs.kde.org)
Hi, That's a great idea ! Grouping filters in folders would be a very nice usability improvement ! And yes, KMail is getting Greatter and greatter thanks to yall :))) Tarax
Half this wish is fulfilled with the filter rename button. As to the grouping, I also would like to see something like this. Rather than a filter list, a filter tree would be nice. A tree is just a list for those who don't make nested branches, so it doesn't really add complexity for those who don't use it. But for those who do... it would be a godsend.
