           Summary: filterbar should be similar like in Thunderbird
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 1.99.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: message list
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: m.wege at web.de


Version:           1.99.0 (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

I would like to see the filterbar in the message list implemented in a similar
way like in thunderbird. I will attach a screenshot of their filterbar. Their
way of filterbar has following advantages:
- filter criteria (unreadsare accessible faster since there is no dropdown menu
necessary.
- filter criteria can be combined.
- There is a "sticky" item, which allows to choose if the filter should remain
in effect, if you change the mail folder.

I can see that an obstacle of implementing this may lay in the fact that Kmail
has more possible filter criteria so there could be a problem of making this
fitting in gui (at least if there is explaining text with it). I would suggest
then that the user could choose which items would appear visible and which
would appear in as additional criteria in additional dropdown with selectable
items.
Furtheremore I would like to suggest to implement an additional filter critera:
Filter by date range (from/(to)).
I will file this wish item also with Akregator.
