Description mi+kde 2002-07-25 19:12:30 UTC
(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kmail
Version:           1.4.2 (using KDE 3.0.2 )
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          Using built-in specs.
OS:                FreeBSD (i386) release 5.0-CURRENT
OS/Compiler notes: 

The current behaviour of the right mouse
button appears to be: "do all that the
left button does and bring up the menu".

I think this is wrong -- when I click
the right button on an entry of the
folder-tree I don't want to get out of
the currently displayed folder and into
the new one. I may wish to just request
e-mail check or "compact folder" without
leaving the one I'm reading now.

Also the popup menu that comes up when
the right button is clicked over the
incoming mail-servers should include an
entry taking the user directly into the
server's properties.

The "check mail" entry in this context
should mean checking the e-mail on this server only.

Yours

Well, as I said in bug report #94041, it seems like a *bug* rather than a whish IMHO. 
 Actually this makes Kmail behave differently from the rest of KDE apps. Try this with Konqueror: 
 - browse a local folder 
 - open the navigation panel on the left side of the window 
 - right-click on any folder from the nav panel : it doesn't affect the main view

isn't 114438 a duplicate of this one?
Comment 10 mi+kde 2007-05-16 00:20:28 UTC
Took (almost) three years since the original report for this bug to be "confirmed".

A multitude of KMail versions have been released...

Something is rotten :-(

I came here to file this bug against kdepim-3.5.10-2 in Fedora9 myself. Any status report on that?
Comment 15 Arthur Pemberton 2009-01-21 07:35:52 UTC
the current tree item is being explictly set every time the context menu is requested, kmfoldertree.cpp:1028
Comment 16 Arthur Pemberton 2009-01-21 08:00:46 UTC
Also, see:
/trunk/KDE/kdepim/kmail/folderview.cpp:1528
Comment 17 Ben Boeckel 2009-01-21 08:06:22 UTC
This still exists in KDE4 4.2rc1 as well. Arthur and I narrowed it down to folderview doing the following:

1) Connecting itemClicked instead of itemActivated for the folder list
2) Setting the folder explicitly when the context menu is requested

With this patched out, it should be fixed after all these years :) .

Not that easy. All actions in the folder context menu would still operate on the currently opened folder. Worse, the actions require that the folder is open, as many of them modify the index and things like that (the index of a folder is created when a folder is opened and discarded when a folder is closed).

So this needs more work. I already started to work on that but never found the time to finish it.
Comment 19 Olek Gut 2011-11-23 04:46:11 UTC
This feature request is still valid for KMail 2
Comment 20 Anne-Marie Mahfouf 2011-11-23 08:06:35 UTC
Reassigning to product kmail2, thanks Oleg
Comment 21 tbohaning 2012-08-18 14:26:34 UTC
It's still a valid request in kmail 4.9
