            Bug ID: 312158
           Summary: KMail 2 configuration options do not permit filtration
                    on message size (unlike earlier KMail)
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.9.2
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: config dialog
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: r.m.nancarrow at skogen.co.uk

When using KMail (NOT KMail 2) in a Linux platform running PCLinuxOS, I set up
POP filtration on message size under the KMail configuration facility, and so
could avoid downloading a large proportion of obviously bogus/dangerous
messages from the server simply by inspecting the subject line and deleting
from the check list.  This option does not appear in the KMail 2 configuration
facility, and it does not appear to be possible to use "Construct Filters" to
achieve the same end, since although filtration on size is provided, none of
the actions seems to achieve the desired effect.  The old facility was very
useful (and this report is motivated by the inadvertent download of a bogus
message) and it would be very helpful either (a) to know where the facility is
hidden in KMail 2, or (b) if it is absence, to have it reinstated.

Reproducible: Always
