Hi,
I read about search-folders but did not succeed to find a button and/or documentation on how to create one in kmail. Could you please give me a hint?
Folder->New Folder and select "search" from the "mailbox format" dropdown
Thanks! Oh man, how is one supposed to find that? Is it not more user-friendly to simply put an entry into the context-menu of the top search-result folder (the one with the magnifying glass): add new search folder? Or at least make the new folder entry open a list with new mail folder and new search-folder. Further, if I setup that folder how should I know that I have to search for a message in order to create the search criteria? Would it not be more user-friendly to have a context-menu-entry when right-clicking a search folder that states, set search criteria or something like that. Maybe even include the criteria-dialogue already when creating a new search-folder. In the search dialogue it then says, search and close but not assign to search folder, not very obvious to me. I really love this feature but it is definitely too hidden for new/normal users. What do others think of that? How do I get the search folder to dislay only new emails? I entered <status> equals new, but it still displays a lot more messages in that folder, so what am I doing wrong? When I click on that magnifying glass I get a webpage displayed where normally the messages are displayed. Should one maybe put there some instructions on how to use the search-folders, or even better a dialogue to create a new one with all the criteria? I meant that would solve both issues, first finding out how to create a search-folder and second how to set the rules for that folder. Cheers, Sven
