Your message with subj: sorting and threads

Folder are now also bold when subfolders contain new mail, which should allow 
you to find the folders with new mail more easy.
Displaying the total unread messages would only be confusing, since top level 
folder can contain mail on its own.

Subject: Wanted feature - Sorting of messages
From: jorgen.sigvardsson@kau.se

Package: kmail
Version: 1.1.99 (KDE 2.1 post Beta 2 (>= 20010128))
Severity: wishlist
Installed from: Debian GNU/Linux (unstable)
Compiler: gcc version 2.95.3 20010125 (prerelease)
OS: Linux 2.4.1-pre10 i686 (Debian Package 4:2.1-beta2-0128-1 (testing/unstable))

1) Netscape Mail-like flagging - which should be sortable 
according to some configurable order

2) Sorting based on state (I want to be able to sort 
unread mail apart from read mail)

Regarding 1) - I want to be able to create flags which 
means different things which I can set on different 
messages. One flag (red for instance)) could mean "You 
better reply to this asap, another flag (e.g. blue) may 
mean, remember to do this after work on the way home.. and 
etc. Of course, it would be nice if messages could be 
sorted based on these flags. Therefore I guess the flags 
should be given priority as well. Implicit (order of 
appearance in config) or explicit (importance-percentage 
perhaps). Anyhow, such a feature would rock.

Regarding 2) - When using thread mode, it is sometimes 
hard to find a new message sent to an old thread. I would 
love to have these threads located either first or last in 
the list of messages depending on date-sorting order. 
I.e., I want the possibility to sort threads based on the 
starting message date *or* the date of the last message 
sent to the thread. I don't know how much of an impact 
this would have on the infrastructure inside KMail. Maybe 
this is too much to ask for (like total rewrite - I dunno 
:)

KMail is probably the best mailer around. I use it all the 
time, and I love it. Thanks for your past work, and thanks 
for your future work.
