            Bug ID: 302137
          Severity: normal
           Version: 4.8.3
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Cannot save new message list theme from one session to
                    another
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: tprotopopescu at gmail.com
          Hardware: openSUSE RPMs
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: message list
           Product: kmail2

After creating and applying a new message list theme in View->Message
List->Theme->Configure the theme disappears after closing and restarting kmail2
(or kontact). This happens with a new theme created from scratch. The new theme
is applied, but is not saved for the next session. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to View->Message List->Theme->Configure 
2. Create a new theme
3. Apply the theme
4. Close then restart kmail/kontact.
Actual Results:  
Message list theme has reverted to one of the preset themes (classic in my
case). The new theme is gone from the list of themes in View->Message
List->Theme. 

Expected Results:  
The new theme should still be in the list of themes and still be applied upon
restarting kmail. 

In addition to not saving new themes kmail does not properly save and apply
modifications to the preset themes. E.g. clone one of the preset themes, and
then modify it (in my case try moving the columns around, so that sender comes
before subject for example). Apply the theme - the column sort order is not
applied. Go back to the configuration dialog and notice that the column
positions were not saved. Moreover some columns do not become visible even if
'column properties' are set to 'visible by default'. I wanted to create custom
theme as a workaround to not being able to modify the preset themes, or clones
of them. 

Related to this seems to be that in the message list reordering the columns is
not saved from session to session. So I can't just reorder the columns as I
like and expect the changes to be there next time I start kmail.
