           Summary: Not visible mails are kept selected/being used when
                    filtering message list (Data loss by accident)
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.13.1
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: kde-bugzilla at thequod.de


Version:           1.13.1 (using 4.4.1 (KDE 4.4.1), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.32-16-generic

TEST CASE:
 1. Go to a Trash folder (or maybe some other, have not tried)
 2. Select all mails (Ctrl-A with focus in the folder list)
 3. enter something in the "Search"/Filter input to narrow down the list of
displayed messages. Use something unique, so you get only very few mails.
 4. The displayed messages are still selected.
 5. Right-click one of them.
 6. Choose delete (CAREFUL: you should not do this with important mails, if you
are not being asked for confirmation)
 7. It will ask you to delete ALL of the mails

Problem:
If not reading carefully, you may delete far too many mails by accident.

Note:
This does not affect the "Mark message as Read/Unread" action (and probably
others from this menu): for those actions only the visible mails get toggled.

EXPECTED:
"Delete" should behave just like marking as read/unread: only act on the mails
visible in the list (respecting the filter).
