            Bug ID: 305919
          Severity: wishlist
           Version: 4.9.0
          Priority: NOR

           Summary: kmail should communicate during mail fetching and
                    filtering
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: anders at alweb.dk
          Hardware: Other
            Status: NEW
         Component: UI
           Product: kmail2

I recently switched back to kmail from a period in thunderbird exile. I miss
very few things, one of them is communication.

During fetching mail, kmail does absolutely not do anything to tell about the
progress but show a progressbar inside the statusbar. No "connecting to..." or
reports. No indication that filtering is done, no "# new messages" or anything.

I can observe that the function that cleans up does provide information, like
"removed # old messages from foldername", so it must be possible for other
components too ;)

Some communication is available as system notifications, but kmail itself is
lacking communication.

Reproducible: Always
