[opensuse] Kmail1.11.0, message list
After having moved completely from 10.2 to 11.1 via a short period working with 11.0 I have found a problem with kmail for which I found no solution. In the message list all the messages are contained under their sender. E.g. in my "suse" folder I find a lot of names of the message originators (kind of sub-folders) without any indication about the subject. This email for example will be sorted under my name and any answer will be found nicely threaded under my name. I can make the contents visible by pressing Ctrl . (dot) but that is not very usable with the many emails coming in from the list. I want to get rid of this sub-folder under the normal folders but found nowhere an indication how to do that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I'm not entirely clear what you're seeing, but a couple of things come to mind: 1) You're sorting that mailbox by Sender rather than by, say, Date or Subject. 2) The CTRL+. part suggests that you're seeing subject threading, which can be turned on and off in the Folder menu (and is maintained on a per-folder basis).

Dear Randall, Threading is not found (anymore) under my folder menu. Sure it was there before . In order to let you see what I am seeing I made a snapshot. Try to hang it on this email. With luck you get it. Under your name tag I find e.g. a message named Re: [opensuse] Re: SOLVED Re: Help - tmp full --- from Today 00:50:29 You are not the originator but you appear as the originator because I had deleted the whole thread until you gave an answer. After that there are eight other messages (4 of you) in the same thread.

Folder -> Thread Messages Folder -> Thread Messages also by Subject

Those green triangles are definitely the indication that threading is enabled.

That's to be expected. The hierarchy gets broken if you remove an interior node from the tree of replies formed by the In-Reply-To headers. This moves what were replies to the top of the thread hierarchies. Sometimes the "Thread Messages also by Subject" reattaches such cousins (but I've found it unreliable or unpredictable).

I see now that you're using the KDE 4 version of KMail, so probably my feedback isn't going to be of much help, since I'm using KMail 1.9.10 from KDE 3.5.10. Perhaps the KDE 4 version of KMail has threading moved to a settings dialog? Hopefully someone using KMail on a KDE 4 installation can help you.

In line with search input filed, on right hand side, are few buttons that can bring solution. For instance Select Aggregation Mode seems to be good. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Without tooltips displayed, I don't know which control that is (or, for that matter, what it means), but from the iconography, the button second to right (adjacent to the search bar) appears to be the threading toggle. That's a nice setup. On my KDE 3.5 I add a button to the button bar (immediately beneath the menu bar) that controls threading, since I frequently want to turn threading on and off.

Thanks, that worked ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
