           Summary: re-index folder function under RMB
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.5.1
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kmail@kde.org
        ReportedBy: list0570@paradise.net.nz


Version:           1.5.1 (using KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-4GB

I often find that kmail gets out of sync with its idea about a mail folder content compared with reality, when the fold is written to while kmail runs. Sorry this is unavoidable, kmail is not the only mail agent on the system. Exiting from kmail and restarting it isn't only cumbersome, it doesn't usually fix it either, one has to manually delete the folder index files. (The most convenient solution is to put a wrapper around kmail and to delete all index files on startup - not ideal either.)

The problem would be greatly reduced if there was an entry "re-scan folder" when clicking the right mouse button on a folder in the folder list window.
