[Kde-pim] Addressing the "ignore thread" functionality in kmail

[Adrian von Bidder]

Heyho!

(Ok, this will go slowly as I'm working on this mostly in the train while 
commuting, have not ever worked with KDE/Qt code before and my C++ 
experience is very limited ...  Since I'm offline, I can't really ask on 
#kontact while working -- although that certainly would be extremely helpful 
:-( )

[ ignore thread is not properly working ]

So far, I've looked in messagelist/core/model.cpp: 
ModelPrivate::attachMessageToParent (the "Propagate watched and ignored 
status") is at least in some cases not invoked[1].  These were cases where 
the "ignored" flag had just vanished between visits to a certain folder, 
when (while I was not in that folder) new mail (that should be ignored) has 
come into the folder between "get new mail" runs.

Since if no new mail comes in, the flag stays there, my suspicion is that it 
is stored, but something in "new mail processing" clears the flag while 
entering the folder.

I guess I'll have to look there next to understand the whole thing.

Using cached imap: should the ignored flag be stored in the mentioned index, 
to IMAP, both, or to imap only on certain IMAP servers?

cheers

[1] to be precise: the if (ignored flag is set) part does not happen.  
AFAICT the function is invoked.
