Description izaz64 2010-06-17 10:03:21 UTC
Version:           1.13.3 (using KDE 4.4.3) 
OS:                Linux

when using message list theme 'fancy with clickable status', flagging 'mark as important' behaves incorrectly when it is toggled alternatively between manually clicking on 'message->mark message->mark message as important' and clicking on the 'mark is important' icon on the message list status.

for example, flagging the '!' icon on the message list marks a message as important, but it doesn't reflect the state in the mark message menu; it still shows as 'mark message as important'. toggling this results in removing the 'mark as important' flag. it happens reversely too when unflagging the '!' icon on the message list; it does not reflect the state in the mark message menu and toggling it results in opposite effect.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) set theme to 'fancy with clickable status'
2) toggle the mark-as-important '!' icon under status in the message list.
3) go to menu message->mark message->mark message as important/remove important message mark

steps 2 and 3 are interchangeable, whichever comes first affects the other

Actual Results:  
toggling the action results in the opposite effect

Expected Results:  
1)return the correct message flag, regardless of the method
2)important flag properly updated both in menu and icon status

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.
