[kmail2] [Bug 317333] Filtering using Quick Search on folders changes folder selection in message list

--- Comment #3 from Manny <knill at eskimo.com> ---
Followup:  A workaround that actually speeds things up is to select the
messages
one wants to move or copy, then use the keyboard shortcut, e.g. 'm' to move the
messages. This opens up a folder window, and one can type in parts of
the target folder, just like for quick search. Once the right folder is
selected,
a <cr> or 'click on ok' finishes the job. 

Two comments: I am still sorry that the normal folder quick search changes the
messages
to <empty> once one types things in, and is otherwise less functional. Also,
on the 'old' kmail, after 'm' and getting the folder window, it is possible to
type
paths across folder divides, e.g. 'adm/misc' to restrict the match (useful for
me, since
I have many 'misc' subfolders. Also, it shows the subfolders of the matching
folder
paths, which gives a lot more flexibility in filtering down the folder list.
Unfortunately,
this functionality is no longer present in 4.14.1
