           Summary: No visual feedback on the progress of moving folders
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.7
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: folders
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: piotr.golonka at cern.ch


Version:           4.7 (using KDE 4.7.3) 
OS:                Linux

I recently moved to KDE-4.7, from previously used 4.5. What I hoped was that
all the features of previously included (excellent!) KMail are also available
in this new version... Apparently this is not the case:

The problem I want to report is that many operations that have previously been
done by KMail itself, are now done with Akonadi, and since then we have no
proper visual feedback of their progress.
For instance, when I command to move the folder to another folder (ie.
right-click on a folder and select "move folder to"), the operation sometimes
takes long (tens of seconds for large folders), and during that time there is
no visual feedback that my command was accepted - the folder does not appear in
the new place, the number of email messages in the "old" folder" do not change,
no progress bar either...

This is very confusing.

So far, the only way I have found to trace that kmail/akonadi actually does
someting was to start akonadi from a konsole (or, to be more precise, do
"akonadictl restart"), and then watch the debug messages coming...



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Try to move a folder, in particular if it contains ~1000 messages and a couple
of tens of megabytes of data...
Try to move it from "KMail-Import" to "Local Folders", for instance. Or between
the local storage and a IMAP resource

Actual Results:  
No visual feedback!

Expected Results:  
I'd expect to have the behaviour of kmail from before akonadi.
Namely:
* the progress bar (in the bottom-right of kmail) shows the progress of
operation
* the folder pops up in the new place immediately, and while the messages are
being moved you could see the message counter (in the folder list) being
updated - you see that messages disappear from one place and appear in the
other.
* the messages that have been moved to the new location, should be immediately
available in the new folder: if I clicked on any of them, I could immediately
read it.
