           Summary: Fix and improve filtering support
           Product: KMail 2
           Version: 1.99.0
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Keywords: akonadi-ports-regression
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: misc
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: mcguire at kde.org
            Blocks: 223438


Right now, the automatic filtering filters everything that emits an itemAdded()
signal.

This will not work very well: Items will get filtered when for the first time
synchronizing a maildir or an IMAP account, when items are copied around and
under other circumstances where items should not be filtered.

Also, the filtering should not block the KMail GUI. That is the most hated bug
in KDE, and we promised to fix this for Akonadi, advertising this as one of the
key benefits of Akonadi. We should deliver the promise.

There are two options to approach this: One is to bend the existing filtering
framework in KMail into submission, and the other one is to use the new
filtering framework for Akonadi from last year's summer of code.

Filtering should have all the features that KMail 1 had. That is all rules and
actions, but also features like excluding accounts from automatic filtering on
new mail, applying filters to outgoing or sent messages and so on (have a look
in the old configure filters dialog)
