Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.1) Installed from: Gentoo Packages Hi, i miss the possibility to tell the kmail filters to act only on one of my mail accounts instead of working on all of them. my setup is the following: account A: normal productive imap account on a cyrus server account B: testing/playing account on the same server, which gets a copy of every mail to A, cached imap account C: account on a kolab2 test server. cached imap, gets a copy of every mail which is sent to B, so it receives also a copy of every message to A. so i set up filtering of mails on account C, for example move all messages to folder kde-devel on account C. it worked fine so far, but somewhen kmail crashed and messed up account C and the filter rules (will write a bug report about that in a minute...). after that i checked account B for the first time after setting up the filtering rules. all downloaded mails from B got sorted into different folders on C. this was not what i wanted. they should be left untouched. so how to "fix" this behaviour ? perhaps it would be good to have a list of accounts in the "Advanced Options" area in the "Configure Filters" dialog. then you could check/uncheck the different accounts for the different filtering rules. it would mean something like this: if this account is "checked", then when you apply filtering on this accout, this rule is executed. if it is not checked, then this rule is ignored. if this would be possible, i could tell all my filtering rules for account C to be only "active" on account C, and filtering of mails on account B would not sort them into the subfolders of account C. while being at it, it would also be good, when a filtering rule could be applied to only special folders. to explain this a little bit more: on C i have folders C1 and C2, and in both folders there are mails which i consider as spam. on manual filtering i want to be able to press ctrl-j on a message to filter it. so the rules should be: - when i am in folder C1 and this message is filtered manually, put it into C1-spam - when i am in folder C2 and this message is filtered manually, put it into C2-spam this would be possible, when i had the option to select "Folder" "equals" "C1" in the "Filter criteria" in the "Configure filters" dialog. perhaps somebody can comment about how much work this would be/ if this is possible with the current framework at all/ when i could hope for this wish to be implemented... thanks a lot, Holger

By sheer coincidence I'm actually working on something like this currently. > while being at it, it would also be good, when a filtering rule could be > applied to only special folders. Maybe something to consider in the future, but I'm not working on that currently. Don.
Anything new on this? I have a lot of filters and I have an account which e-mails I wouldn't like to get filtered at all. Currently I'd need to traverse a lot of filters to achieve this, and it would break up things if I'd get a new account.
I'd love to see this feature as well.
It looks like the account part of the feature has already been implemented in KDE 3.5 -- see "Apply this filter to incoming messages: ... from checked accounts only" in the "Advanced" tab. The folder part of the feature hasn't been implemented as far as I can see.
The coniguration for accounts should be extended by their subfolders.

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.
