Kmail Ordner-Eigenschaften

Der Ordner-Eigenschaften-Dialog erlaubt es ihnen Ordner umzubenennen und alle seine Eigenschaften einzustellen. Bitte beachten Sie, dass viele Eigenschaften nur für selbst erstelle Ordner verändert werden können, nicht aber für die Standard-Ordner wie der Posteingang, etc. Standard-Order können beispielsweise nicht umbenannt werden.

Allgemein

Wenn Sie einen Ordner umbenennen möchten, dann ändern Sie den Eintrag in dem Feld Name:.
Aktion bei neuen / ungelesenen Nachrichten in diesem Ordner ist bei neuen Ordnern standardmäßig aktiviert. Es bewirkt, dass bei Eingang neuer Nachrichten in diesen Ordner eine Benachrichtigung angezeigt wird. Deaktivieren Sie diese Funktion bei Ordnern für die Sie keine Benachrichtigung erhalten möchten wie beispielsweise SPAM oder den Papierkorb .
Wenn Sie auf Nachrichten in diesem Ordner antworten, dann aktivieren Sie Antworten in diesem Ordner aufbewahren, wenn Sie möchten, dass die Antworten nicht in dem Ordner "Versendete Nachrichten" sondern in diesem Ordner abgelegt werden sollten.
Aktivieren Sie Diesen Ordner im Ordner-Auswahldialog ausblenden, wenn Sie nicht möchten, dass dieser Ordner in den Auswahldialogen (wie beispielsweise In Ordner wechseln oder Nachricht kopieren nach ...) angezeigt werden.
Bei neuen Ordnern ist die Vorgabe, dass Sie die Standard-Identität verwenden. Durch Deaktivieren von Standard-Identität verwenden und Auswahl einer anderen Identität aus dem Absender-Identität Ausklappfeld können Sie die Identität ändern. Vgl. auch Identitäten einrichten für weitere Informationen über Identitäten. Antworten auf Nachrichten, die direkt an eine bestimmte Identität gesendet wurden, werden auch unter dieser Identität im Von-Feld gesendet.
Falls Sie Gruppen-Software verwenden, können Sie den Inhalt des Ordners (z. B. Kalender, E-Mail, Notizen, etc) über das Ordner Inhalte:-Ausklappfeld ändern.
Falls Sie den Ordner mit anderen Benutzern teilen, können Sie den Lesestatus mit allen Benutzers teilen was den gelesen Status bei allen Benutzern gleich anzeigt.

For example, a ticket system that all emails must be read and multiple users are responsible for reading unread tickets.

View

The Use custom icons option lets you choose icons that are different from the default ones in the folder list.
With Show column drop down you can set the visible columns in the header pane to Default, Sender, or Receiver. This is useful if you use a folder to save your own sent messages.
In the Message List section you can select and configure an Aggregation and Theme for this folder different from the default configured in KMails settings. For more details see the Message List tab in the Appearance page.

Retrieval

If you have an account that does not receive much mail and you don't want KMail to query the server as often, you can uncheck Use options from parent folder or account to set a higher interval in Automatically synchronize after: spin box.
In Retrieval Options you can change Always retrieve full messages option to Retrieve message bodies on demand if you have a slow connection. You can set how long the message will remain locally in the following spin box.

Templates

On this tab you can define folder-specific templates for your custom folders. For more details see the Standard Templates tab in the Composer page.


Expiry

You can set automatic cleanup or deletion of emails in this tab. Check the box if you would like to automatically expire read or unread messages respectively. Set the amount of days in the spinbox. If you do not want to permanently delete the messages you can assign a folder to move them to in Move expired messages to: textbox or folder selection dialog. Once you have reviewed the messages and want to permanently delete them, you can go to the folder expiry options of the folder you chose to move them to and set the option Delete expired messages permanently, then click the Save Settings and Expire Now button.

Warning

Messages that are deleted during expiration of old messages cannot be restored, so be careful with this setting.


Access Control

(IMAP only)

Here you can manage the access control lists (ACLs) of IMAP folders.

Note

The IMAP server must have user level ACL configured and enabled for this tab to be visible.


The currently active ACL is shown in the list. It consists of pairs of User Ids and the Permissions granted to users identified by that User Id. [1] ACLs are settable per-folder.

Note

As with everything else when using disconnected IMAP, you need to sync with the server for the changes to be transferred to the server.


IMAP ACLs define a lot of fine-grained permissions that you can grant or deny other users. For the sake of clarity, KMail will present them as the following five categories that you can choose from (see Table 3.1, “ACL Rights Summary” for the details if you already know IMAP ACLs).

  • None

Grants the users identified by User Id no rights at all. This is also the default for users not explicitly (or implicitly, as a group) listed in the ACL. These users will not see this folder in the list of IMAP folders presented to them by their mail clients.

  • Read

Grants the users identified by User Id reading rights for this folder. This also includes the ability for their mail clients to mark mails as read and store this information on the server. [2] These users will see this folder in the list of IMAP folders presented to them by their mail clients. Use this to create a shared folder that others can read, but not modify.

If you were the editor of a company's news letter, you could create a folder for the purpose of distributing the news letter, grant everyone reading rights, and save the letter to this folder instead of sending it out by email to a catch-all address.

  • Append (also known as Post)

Grants the users identified by User Id reading (see above) and posting rights for this folder. Use this to create a shared folder that others can read and post messages to, but cannot otherwise modify.

If you wanted to create a company-wide discussion forum, instead of using a web-based form or a separate company-private usenet server, you could create a bunch of folders (one per topic), and grant everyone reading and posting rights. Instead of posting to an NNTP server or writing their messages into a web form, people would just write emails and store them in the folder suiting the topic of the message.

  • Write

Grants the users identified by User Id reading, posting (see above), and writing rights for this folder. The right to write to a folder includes deleting of messages, creating subfolders, and storing other attributes than read/unread on the server (e.g. answered).

Use this to create a shared folder that everyone has (almost, see All) the same rights for. In the Append example, you could assign write rights to a group of people acting as moderators, which would then be able to remove off-topic posts, and create sub-topic-folders for high-traffic folders.

  • All

Grants the users identified by User Id reading, posting, writing (see above), as well as administration rights, i.e. the right to modify the ACL of this folder. This is the default set of rights for the owner of a folder. Table 3.1, “ACL Rights Summary” summarizes the IMAP ACL rights associated with each permission level.


Mailing List

If you are going to use the folder for a mailing list open the Mailinglist Folder Properties dialog with Folder → Mailing List Management from the menu. Then you should check Folder holds a mailing list to associate this folder with the mailing list. Next you should click on Detect Automatically. KMail will then try to guess some information about the mailing list from the currently selected message. If KMail could not determine some addresses then you can add the missing information manually. To do this first select the Address type for which you want to add an address. You can choose between:

  • Post to List

This address is used for sending messages to the mailing list. This is usually an email address.

  • Subscribe to List

This address is used for subscribing to the mailing list. This can be an email address or the address of a web page.

  • Unsubscribe From List

This address is used for unsubscribing from the mailing list. This can be an email address or the address of a web page.

  • List Archives

This is the address of the archive of the mailing list. This is usually the address of a web page.

  • List Help

This address is used for requesting help for this mailing list. This is usually an email address.

After selecting the appropriate Address type you enter the email address or the address of the web page and then click on Add. With Remove you can remove addresses.

If all addresses have been added then you can execute an action, e.g. go to the list archives, by selecting the appropriate Address type and then clicking on Invoke Handler. If there is an email address and an address of a web page for the desired action then you will have to select the Preferred handler prior to clicking on Invoke Handler. Select KMail if you want to send a message to the email address and select Browser if you want to go to the web page.

Alternatively to invoking the handler for Post to List you can send a new message to the mailing list via Message → New Message to Mailing-List...

Shortcut

You can define a keyboard shortcut to access the folder.

Maintenance

This tab shows an overview about the folder type and its size, the number of read and unread messages in the folder and allows you to enable text indexing.

[1] Note that a single User Id might refer to more than one user. Depending on the IMAP server and its configuration, there may be User Ids that correspond to groups of users, anonymous users, or any user. Consult the manual of your specific IMAP server implementation for more information.

[2] Every user has their own list of read mail, so none of your unread mails will suddenly be marked as read just because someone else has already read them.
