(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kmail Version: 1.3.1 (using KDE 2.2.1 ) Severity: wishlist Installed from: SuSE Compiler: gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.10-4GB OS/Compiler notes: I'd like to create subfolders in the sent folder to sort my sent mails by month/year. Why is this not possible? This makes searching for sent mails much easier. (Submitted via bugs.kde.org) (Called from KBugReport dialog)
Um, yeah, it's been a *while* with no change in status here. I would like to second the motion. Subfolders for Sent items is very useful. Either that or implement some kind of "virtual folders" like they have in evolution, basically multiple search folders. This makes it easy to have the mail in one folder, and have it show up in multiple places. Say, if the sender is Person X, but writing to Mailing List B, you can have the message sit put in Inbox (or whereever) and see all mail by Person X, and then all mail on Mailing List B, and have the message show up in both places. This might be a solution to the parent poster; mail could sit put in Sent, but show up elsewhere after being sorted.
Aha! Figured it out, but found what might be another bug in the process. Running KMail 3.2-2 on MDK 10.0 Beta. Clicking Tools -> Search reuses whatever the last search was, which made me think there was no way to have multiple search results. This was fishy though, as the Searches icon on the bar on the left has a little + or - next to it like a folder, making me think it should be able to hold more than one sub-item. Figured out by dumb luck that clicking on the Search icon on the toolbar generates a new search, allowing for multiple search results. Tada, "virtual folders" like in evo, and without the evo overhead!
CVS commit by burghard: The get-rid-of-old-things patch. - add storage property "noChildren" (guess what it does) - allow the creation of subfolders of system folders (except the outbox) - the content of the belongs-to combox in the folderdialog looks like the foldertree - get rid of old stuff in kmfoldertree - kmfoldertree is the parent of kmfolderdialog ...and fix the mailinglist handling CCMAIL: 11903-done@bugs.kde.org CCMAIL: 37139-done@bugs.kde.org M +1 -0 folderstorage.cpp 1.16 M +8 -0 folderstorage.h 1.15 M +10 -0 kmfolder.cpp 1.313 M +6 -0 kmfolder.h 1.146 M +16 -43 kmfolderdia.cpp 1.119 M +1 -0 kmfolderdia.h 1.35 M +1 -0 kmfolderimap.cpp 1.179 M +1 -0 kmfoldersearch.cpp 1.48 M +34 -44 kmfoldertree.cpp 1.282 M +9 -7 kmfoldertree.h 1.77 M +1 -0 kmkernel.cpp 1.252 M +1 -1 kmmainwidget.cpp 1.159
