           Summary: kmail has lost the ability do not disturb sorting
                    during mail deletion
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: bartoschek at gmx.de


Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

In kmail from KDE 3.5 one could delete the first message of a thread and the
other messages did not change the ordering. This is no longer the case in kmail
from KDE 4. Here we have the same annoying behaviour that already older kmail
versions have. After each deletion in a thread the other mails are reordered
again to their real position.

For example there are the following mails in the inbox with their dates:

Mail A - Day 1
+-Mail A.1 - Day 3
 +-Mail A.2 - Day 4
Mail B - Day 2
Mail C - Day 5

If I delete Mail A then I get:

Mail B - Day 2
+-Mail A.1 - Day 3
 +-Mail A.2 - Day 4
Mail C - Day 5

In KDE 3.5 I got 

+-Mail A.1 - Day 3
 +-Mail A.2 - Day 4
Mail B - Day 2
Mail C - Day 5

as long as I did not leave the directory. 

kmail introduced this feature during the 3.x series because this is obviously
the better behaviour. Iterating through unread mails and deleting unwanted ones
does not surprise the users by unexpected jumps.

Because this is a regression from an earlier version, I choose "Bug" and not
"Wishlist".

I use the standard message list and sort by the date of the lastest message in
a thread.
