Hi everyone

Probably a matter of taste, but let me put my whish here for discussion.

I managed to delete most of my email after mouse-clicking the trash folder and
typing CTRL-A to seemingly select all mail within the folder, followed by my
shortcut for 'delete all'. I know, my fault, no discussion about that.

However, following the principle of least surprise with my mindset, I would
expect kmail to select all folders (I don't know a usecase I'd have for that).
Id expect it to select all mail within the folder. Desipte the fact that the
focus was in the folder panel and not in the mail list panel.

My to ç - thanks for all your effort and achievements
Urs
