            Bug ID: 345335
           Summary: automatic archives should allow multiple entries for
                    same folder
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 4.14.2
          Platform: Kubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: m at reaktanz.de

i would like to implement a good backup strategy for my mail accounts without
wasting too much disk space. my plan is to have 7 daily, 4 weekly, 12 monthly
and unlimited yearly backups of the same folder.

this cannot be done with the current automatic archive option (at least in
4.14.2), because it allows only one rule for each folder archive, while i would
need four.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. configure daily backups for a mail folder
2. try to configure additional weekly backups for the same folder


Actual Results:  
kmail complains that there can only be one archive at a time.

Expected Results:  
kmail should let me decide how many archives i would like to have, and when and
where they are stored.

the feature in general is great. i used to do backups with rsync scripts, but
this is much more comfortable -- once it does what i outlined here. in the
meantime, i will need another bunch of cronjobs and scripts...
