            Bug ID: 322455
           Summary: status filter "unread" unusable
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.10.5
          Platform: Debian unstable
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: message list
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: shai at platonix.com

When the status filter on the message list is set to "Unread", every message
whose status changes to "read" is immediately removed from the list (except
when messages are threaded and the message has an unread child). This may seem
to make sense, but is in fact surprising and unwelcome; the fact that a message
I am looking at is already gone from the list, and if I press right-arrow (next
message) then left arrow (prev message) I won't get back to it, is a real
hindrance.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. In the settings->Configure Kmail->Misc->Folders check "mark selected message
as read after" and set a small number of seconds (I use 2).
1. Choose a mail folder with unread messages.
2. Change filter status to "Unread"
3. Navigate the message list, preferably using the right-left arrows, to read
the messages in the preview pane
Actual Results:  
Every thread you go through is removed from the list, and then you can't go
back to it.

Expected Results:  
Filtering should be applied when the filter is set, but messages should not be
removed automatically after that (except when deleted or moved, of course, but
that isn't really "automatically").

This is a regression from KMail1, which had the correct behavior.
