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.
I agree
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.
I agree
In the search dialogue it then says, search and close but not assign to search folder, not very obvious to me.
Well, it says "search folder name". Maybe there should be a verb in there somewhere
I really love this feature but it is definitely too hidden for new/normal users. What do others think of that?
I agree completely, in fact I had no idea it existed until your mail prompted me to look for it :) But this is definitely the wrong forum, I doubt very much any kde devels are reading this list. You should post the suggestions on the kde-devel mailing list, or better yet in the kde bugzilla
