Description Evgenii Frolov 2013-01-11 05:09:48 UTC
When number of filter criteria reaches 8 it is impossible to add more of them with GUI. 
Though it is possible to do if you:
1. Extract your filters
2. Edit extracted file (add "contents{NextLetter}=...", "field{NextLetter}=..." and "func{NextLetter}=..." lines)
3. Import the edited filter in kMail

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a filter
2. Write down 8 filter criteria
3. Witness "+" button become unavaliable
Actual Results:  
A user is unable to create filters with more than 8 filter criteria with kmail UI

Expected Results:  
It would be good if after, say, 8th criterium a scroll line appear and it would be possible to add 9th, 10th and more of them...

no we limite to 8 to avoid to make dialogbox too big.
So no we will not add more :)

And 8 is enough if you didn't success to create a valid filter with 8 criterias it's that there is a problem :)

May be there is a chance to separate filtering e-mail addresses with coma in one criteria line?
Thanks for a quick reply!

Not for the moment.
But perhaps in the future
