Version: Git (master) (using Devel) OS: Linux It is possible to select multiple folders in the tree, using Ctrl-click or Shift-click. However, not all context menu operations are available or work properly with multiple folders selected: Copy/Move To: sometimes crashes (will raise a separate bug for that). Mark All Mails As Read: disabled in menu, being able to do this on multiple folders would be extremely useful. Delete Folder: disabled in menu, but reads "Delete # Folders" so it is obviously aware that multiple folders are selected! Archive Folder: works for the last folder selected. Assign Shortcut: works for the last folder selected. Folder Properties: works for the last folder selected. Expire: only appears to work on a single folder, it doesn't say which one. Mailing List Management: only appears to work on a single folder, it doesn't say which one. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Select multiple folders in the tree, try to perform operations from the context menu. Actual Results: Anomalies as above. Expected Results: Either the operations should work properly when multiple folders are selected, or if this is not possible or sensible then they should be disabled. See also bug 195671 for "Delete", and bug 283584 for drag/drop.
"Archive Folder: works for the last folder selected." I will fix item. It will work on multi folder. So I will disable it when we select multi folder. "Assign Shortcut: works for the last folder selected." just on a folder will disable it when we have multi folder "Folder Properties: works for the last folder selected." same for other just on a folder will fix it "Expire: only appears to work on a single folder, it doesn't say which one." same For "mark as read"/delete I think that we can use multi folder will look at it. Tomorrow will fix menu. Thanks for bug report
I don't understand I look at code (but can't test now) but menu can be enabled when multifolder So don't understand how you can have archive/expire etc enabled when you select multi folder

I fixed "Mark All Mails As Read" enable/disable action (in 4.7.4/master). Need to look at how to implement "delete multi folder" and after that all your reported bug will be fixed. Regards
This bug has only been reported for versions before 4.14, which have been unsupported for at least two years now. Can anyone tell if this bug still present? If noone confirms this bug for a Framework-based version of kmail2 (version 5.0 or later, as part of KDE Applications 15.12 or later), it gets closed in about three months.
Just as announced in my last comment, I close this bug. If you encounter it again in a recent version (at least 5.0 aka 15.08), please open a new one unless it already exists. Thank you for all your input.
