[kdepim-users] Kmail: Search for/List emails within a date/time range?

Hello,

is there a way in Kmail to search for messages, which were received/sent
within a certain time range?

I've looked at  "Search in folders", but only found capabilities to search for
strings within certain parts of the messages (like Subject, FROM, TO...)
Within a certain folder there's no problem to accomplish the task,
since messages can be sorted by date easily.
If a "Search in folders" with a criteria that gets every message (e.g. message size>0)
is done first, all the search result messages (in the virtual folder) could be sorted by date...
But this is not efficient and not feasable for a large collection of emails with lots of folders!

Looking at digiKam (http://www.digikam.org/), a KDE photo management application,
the images (files) are grouped in folders (directories) analogous to kmail grouping emails in folders.
But here there's also a date panel showing a calender, where you can "mark" a month, week or days
and subsequently the corresponding images are shown.

What is the preferential kmail way to do this for emails?

Thanks,
	Martin Bernreuther
