Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.1) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages OS: Linux Okay, this is probably a bit too big to be a wish; and it's probably impractical to implement, but what the heck... KMail has a sent mail folder defined for every account - right? So it knows all the messages I've sent. This is as it should be, mostly one doesn't want sent mails mixed up with incoming mails (at least I don't). At times however, it would be useful to have those sent messages in the same folder as the outgoing messages - particularly for a series of back-and-forth messages in a thread... e.g. Me: What time is the meeting? You: I have no idea, what would be good for you? Me: How does 10:00am grab you? You: That's fine. In the current (and traditional) folder system - this will make two threads - one in the Sent mailbox and one in the <whatever> mailbox. <Sent mailbox> Me: What time is the meeting? `-> How does 10:00am grab you? <Whatever mailbox> You: I have no idea, what would be good for you? `-> That's fine So, that's the problem, my imagined solution is the following. KMail maintains an internal cache of all the "In-Reply-To:" headers in the Sent folder. Now when reading the <whatever> mailbox, and coming accross a "Message-Id:" header that matches one of these (or vice versa), a virtual copy of the Sent mail appears in the Whatever mailbox. This makes the thread read correctly: What time is the meeting? (virtual) `-> I have no idea, what would be good for you? (real) `-> How does 10:00am grab you? (virtual) `-> That's fine (real) This strikes me as being not a million miles different from the "Last Search" virtual folder; so I assume the underlying facility exists already.

Does that help? (I realize your wish goes beyond this, and I believe it's a duplicate of an already reported wish. If you want to do us a real favor you could try to find it and close this bugreport and vote for the other one.) Till
That option does help - thanks. I would still be in favour of the virtual method I outlined above; and will do my best to find the duplicate.
I could not find the duplicate. Maybe I closed one to many in the past.

This doesn't seem to work with IMAP accounts, does it ?
Sure, I use it every day.
Has this wish come true? It seems that Gmail has acheived this goal exactly.How about kmail?
I am using systematically "Keep Replies in Folder", for all the 13 accounts of my organization. Does the trick fully, trully. Any conversation like the sample you gave gets treated exactly as you wish.
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.
Still applies to kmail2, component: message list.
Would it be difficult to integrate this possibility into KMail? I'd say (just to clarify), this is something akin to symlinks for replies. I have not much more to add, but still would be nice if this was a feature after um... 17 years of waiting (wow... i'm old! :). PS. Sorry for necrobumping.
