Description stakanov 2020-07-18 08:55:25 UTC
SUMMARY
This is the request of a possible enhancement. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. make an automatic archiving of kmail/kontact and receive a mail
2. see the notification for archiving (not time stamp), see the mail: (has time stamp)
3. As archiving can take a lot of CPU power and may occur before the user wants / need to shutdown, the time when it actually started, would be, as it is a regular job, a good way for the user to estimate if he can wait it to finish or when the cpu power will be free again. Useful especially for laptops, when you see it notifies "started" but not when, so you do not actually know if you can wait or you just interrupt it. 

OBSERVED RESULT
No time stamp with archiving, email shows nicely timestamp of reception

EXPECTED RESULT
At least when starting jobs and notifying them, the agent should also give the timestamp. It would then be nice to have a timestamp also when terminating the job of e.g. archiving to understand the time span needed (will ease the setting of when to do automatized archiving).
