            Bug ID: 332952
           Summary: when sent mail goes to the inbox, incoming mail is
                    labelled by "To" field, not "From"
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.12.3
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: folders

Instead of having sent mail placed in a 'sent' folder, I have it put in the
inbox (this allows email threads to be shown together like Gmail; eventually I
move the whole thread to an archive folder).

Bug: messages listed in the inbox are labelled with subject and recipient (To
field), using the "Fancy" theme. It appears this happens in any folder where
sent mail is placed, which makes sense for folders only containing sent mail
but not for folders which are also inboxes.

What should happen: whether sender or recipient is shown should be
configurable, or be the sender when in an inbox. ('Folder properties' → 'view'
→ 'show column' may be configuration intended for this, but doesn't work.) Or
possibly the theme should show both "To" and "From" using abbreviations for
common names or something.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Edit identity, set sent mail folder to the inbox. Restart if necessary, then
view mails in your inbox.
