Version: (using KDE KDE 3.2.1) Installed from: Unlisted Binary Package OS: Linux KMail allows mail to marked up in certain ways. Some of these (e.g. as read, or as replied) are useful merely as a visual indicator, but others (e.g. as queued, as important, or as spam) would also be useful as ways of initiating some action through the filter mechanism: queued -- automatic reply to say that your message is being dealt with important -- setting an item in the todo list spam -- forwarding the mail as an attachment to your MTAs spam training address, or to a black list service like spamcop This can be achieved now by selecting all the mails that you have just marked and manually executing the filters, but this is not intuitive. Another way, but also not intuitive, is to create named filter actions and get the user to use those instead of marking the message. There are currently three ways in which a filter can be initiated; this would be a fourth.
Actually, the Apply Filter Actions would probably also be a reasonable way if it wasn't called 'Apply Filter Actions', but was instead just 'Actions', though I feel the original suggestion would still be useful.
Thank you for your feature request. Kmail1 is currently unmaintained so we are closing all wishes. Please feel free to reopen a feature request for Kmail2 if it has not already been implemented. Thank you for your understanding.
Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
