Version: 1.7 (using KDE KDE 3.3.0) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux By associating a folder to a mailinglist, there should be the possibility to move all incoming mail which comes from this mailinglist automatically to it's associated folder. This way I could save many of the filers I set up. And IMHO it should be configurable with a simple checkbox "[x] File all incoming mail belonging to this ML in this folder ?" It would be one more configurable option, but also (in my case) about 15 filters less to set up...
KMail, in any event, has to know how to detect that a message belongs to a mailing list. And it can only do that through filters. Most mailing lists send a List-Id header, which allows for easy, unambiguous filtering with one single rule. Besides, you can create such a rule by using the context menu on a message received from that list.
What about if kmail detects an x-list header that has not yet a filter associated... It could propose to create a folder *and* an filter for that list.
I'd like to second this. The "manage mailinglist" dialogue should be able to create filters. If the user sets a folder to be the "home" of a mailinglist it seems straigth-forward that one wants mail from that list moved to the folder as well.

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.
