Description revenant 2003-04-05 15:05:43 UTC 
Version:           1.4.3 (using KDE 3.0.3)
Installed from:    Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.0 3.2-1mdk)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.19-16mdk

Kmail limits me to eight criterion per filter.  This is an arbitrary and restrictive limit.  Please allow an unlimited number of filters.

Replaced revenant@bigpond.net.au with null@kde.org due to bounces by reporter

The max number of criterions (and actions) is a compile-time constant. You can just increase that one, recompile KMail and have as many as you want.

I don't see much use in more than eight rules for any given filter anyway. The more so as you can only combine them with OR or AND and not with mixed operators.

Comment 4 David Saxton 2006-01-17 21:47:08 UTC 
Why not make the default limit something reasonable (e.g. 256)? Or is there some trade-off in terms of memory of speed of KMail for increasing the maximum number of filters?

Also requested on bug 53499.

I support this with of an unlimited number of criteria, or at least something much greater than just 8 (e.g. 256).

I'd use this for the filtering of advertising/mailing that we get from almost all online store one has been a client of. I don't want to classify them as spam, but I don't want to see them in my inbox. I only need to see them when I'm considering a purchase, in which case I browse the ads folder.

And I don't want to use more than one rule for this, I only need to set up a list of senders.
