Version: (using KDE 4.3.0) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Right now, the oldest results appear first in time and position. By "first in time," I'm referring to the search's behavior of populating the list as it goes through all the e-mails. It finds matches beginning with older e-mails, and it takes couple seconds for the newer e-mails to show up on the result list. Also, the default sorting of the list should be newest first, but right now, it's oldest first.
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.
