           Summary: Compact layout of folder list in Kontact/Kmail
           Product: kontact
           Version: 4.3.2
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: greve at fsfe.org

OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Kmail / Kontact is fairly wasteful with the display of the mail folder lists,
which is painful especially on laptops, as it takes away space from the actual
message display.

Suggestions that should be fairly easy to implement:

 (a) reduce white space to the left of the folder tree to 1 pixel
 (b) reduce the horizontal dots to 1/2 instead of 3/4
 (c) the branch should start below the dot, not the icon

A suggestion that might be a bit more difficult:

 (d) instead of columns the number of unread/total mails should be displayed
just behind the folder name

A mockup with (a) to (c) semi-completed is attached. The mockup also contains
(d) for some folders to exemplify.
