Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.6.2) OS: Linux I'm using KMail 4.6 beta 5. I've been testing the beta's daily for months, and for all this time I've seen that the message list on my accounts is at certain places expanded unnecessarily by default. For example, on my IMAP account #1 (all of my account are IMAP) the month October 2010 is expanded, even if there are no messages there which are unread or flagged as important or whatever. I can shrink the month October 2010, but if I open another folder and then change back to IMAP account #1's inbox again, the month October 2010 is expanded again. In the inbox of IMAP account #2 KMail always does it with the months January 2011 and December 2010. The same applies there, in those months there are no unread messages or whatever. Only these three specific folders are affected in the inboxes of those two specific accounts, #1 and #2. Account #1 also has some subfolders, but they are not affected at all. Only the inboxes of #1 and #2, but the inbox of IMAP account #3 is not affected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Don't know. Expected Results: Only expand months/weeks in the past if they have unread (and possibly also marked) messages.

When I filed this bug is was certain that not a single message in those months was flagged. At least, the message list doesn't indicate this (by the way, even if I do mark a message as important, nothing changes in the interface, no red exclamtion mark icon for example is displayed in front of the message subject). To be totally sure I tried flagging the messages as important and action items, and then de-flagging them. This fixed the problem, now these specific months are no longer permanently expanded. However, I filed another bug for the message list not indicating that messages are flagged as important or action items, bug #273902.
