Before running all mad we should define what we are talking about: saving a 
single mail (file-save as) in kmail's main window corresponds to export 
(making it available in another context of use). that's roughly what export 
in korganizer does. i agree it's a useful option.

However, in KMail, the label "Save as" doesn't tell the user what exactly is 
saved - the message, the folder, the inbox? from your statement i guess would 
miss an option to save the mail, but you've never missed an option to save 
the folder or the inbox in kmail - and that's what i was referring to.

in short: the "container" - that is an inbox in kmail, a calendar in 
korganizer, a resource in kaddressbook - should auto save. In this thread, 
the question was if it makes sense to offer an additional explicit save for 
containers. this question has not yet been decided on.

yes and no. it depends on the context. from your second sentence i guess you 
refer to document storage?
