Version: 4.7 (using KDE 4.7.1) OS: Linux I have enabled the preference "Misc -> Mark selected message as read after" setting it to 3 seconds. What happens is that as soon as I select an unread message in the message list and quickly (less than 3 seconds) I select another message, the first one is marked as read even if less than 3 seconds have elapsed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1) set Misc -> Mark selected message as read after to 3 seconds 2) select an unread message 3) quickly select another message before 3 seconds Actual Results: the unread message is marked as read Expected Results: the unread message should be marked as read only if the time indicated in the preferences elapses. This is a sort of regression for kmail2, kmail was working in this way

I tried the patch but still doesn't work :-( Basically what happens it that after I select an unread message and quickly select another message, the first message's status stays unread for the time specified in "Misc -> Mark selected message as read after", then it's marked as read in any case. What I expect is different: the message should be marked as read only if the timeout indicated above elapses AND if the unread message is still selected.
Reopening the bug
It works as described Reclose it
Reopening, just tested with kmail 4.7.4. It *almost* works but there is a trivial problem. Let's assume there are two unread messages B and C while we're looking at read message A. To reproduce the problem: 1) select message B 2) quickly reselect A before the timer specified in "Misc -> Mark selected message as read after" expires; in this way B is still unread (correctly) 3) now reselect B for a longer period than the timer, in this case the message is never marked read (wrong!) 4) now select C and wait for the timer to expire; C is marked as read 5) only now you can select B and it'll be marked as read after the timer expires Let me know if something is not clear
Ok now I understand you bug and fixed it. Sorry I didn't see this problem.

I tried your patch for the branch 'KDE/4.7' against kmail 4.7.4 but the problem is still there :-( Moreover I prepared the attached debug patch to investigate more about the problem but I don't see any output (I should have correctly configured the kmail2 debug area with kdebugdialog)
Created attachment 67086 [details] debug.patch
I retested today and it works fine. So I close it, until you give me the exact problem. I re-read code all is ok. So I don't understand why it doesn't work for you but code work here.
Now I'm using kmail 4.8.0. I confirm it works, thanks!
