Description Gerhard Hoogterp 2004-09-22 17:41:12 UTC
Version:           1.7 (using KDE 3.3.0, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.3 20040412 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.3-r6, ssp-3.3.2-2, pie-8.7.6)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.7-mm6

I would like kmail to remember the last setting of the status filter in the new search bar. At this moment the setting is forgotten the moment I go to an other folder. 
For me this option would solve a long standing wishlist item in that in mailinglist folders I only want to see the threads with new or unread messages.

If this is implemented, please make it a config option - several users (including me) won't like to have this as default setting.

Gerhard, you might want to use saved searches as workaround.

Don't worry..this bug was filled years before the introduction of the virtual 
folders and as it seems I'm the only one who would like to be able to have a 
default filter which is sticky.. To worsen the problem other applications 
(aggregator f.e.) have the same problem pointing to kmail as "standard 
behaviour". Anyhow, since I seem to be the only one who likes to see only the 
threads with new mails (new mails  + context) per default I don't think you 
have to worry.

> Gerhard, you might want to use saved searches as workaround.


Virtual folders are a pain in the butt for this. It means that I would need a 
second folder for every folder I already have, if I remember correctly they 
didn't update themself automatically and didn't show threads. Just hits..
Anyhow, the status filter is perfect and does the job adequately.. If only it 
would be sticky to the last used setting freeing me from the "select 
folder" -> "change status" -> "read mail" drag..

Well, at least the akregator people did solve this issue.
 
(http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106348) 

It does make me wonder once again why I'm the only one who is irritated by having to set the filter manually for every mailinglist every time again..

Comment 8 Maciej Pilichowski 2007-09-02 22:42:47 UTC
Enhancement of the wish:
1) there should be an option in the settings to control the default state of the option of the search pane
2) in the search pane there should be nice widget (after the edit-box?), if you turn it on, the search is remembered when the folder is changed

Sticky-search, I like the name, Gerhard.

Ok, I'm another one, who wants this feature....
Comment 11 Björn Ruberg 2009-12-20 00:06:19 UTC
There was once a proposal making the quicksearch line flashing when moving back - so every one notices that its still active. Wonder why this is not implemented yet.
Comment 12 Vladimir Prus 2011-04-30 16:10:35 UTC
Is there any chance for this to be fixed? There's at least half a dozen independent bug reports about this, most of them with several folks backing up the request.

The only alternative is to use saved searches. However, what I would like to do is to only see "action item" emails in every single folder by default. And clearly, creating a saved search folder for every real folder for that purpose is rather awkward approach.

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.
Comment 14 Luigi Toscano 2012-08-19 00:48:54 UTC
Instead of creating a new feature request, please confirm here if the wishlist is still valid for kmail2.
