I stumbled upon this old bug and retested it with kmail-5.20.3 (22.04.3). It
works as I'd expect it to work: 

- clicking on a folder that contains emails from which previously I had already
selected one, the focus will shift to the mail list panel and CTRL-A will
select all email
- clicking on a folder where previously I had not selected any email, the focus
will stay on the folder list panel. But now, CTRL-A doesn't have any effect (as
opposed to in 2017, where it was selecting all folders).

So all Good, I'd like to close the issue. Thanks to all working on kmail and
kde/plasma.

Using Kmail 5.5.2 from Opensuse Leap 42.3 repositories: typing CTRL-A will
either select nothing at all, select the content of the mail in preview pane,
or select all mails in the header pane as it used to do.

Shortcut hasn't been touched and is still configured to select all messages.

Not really sure if it is the same bug, though, as I never got all folders to be
selected.

I run into the same issue whenever I want to clear my spam folder, i.e. once a
day. In the past I could select the folder and then Ctrl+A Shift+Delete to
delete all spam messages. Now I have to select one of the spam messages before
I'm able to delete all of them.

It frequently occurs in the Trash folder. And that's where I usually would want
to hit CTRL-A and delete all :-(

Sorry, I intended to add this screen shot to another bug, not this one. Any
chance somebody could delete it here (I seem to not have the rights to do so)?

KMail seems to remember the email you have previously selected in a particular
folder. If you click the folder in the folder view, the previously selected
email becomes active and the focus shifts from the folder panel to the email
list panel. Typing ctrl+a does the 'expected' and selects all emails within the
selected folder.

If - for some reason - there is no previously selected email, kmail leaves the
focus on the folder panel. Typing ctrl+a selects all folders instead of all
emails within that folder.

I guess I'd rephrase the title of this bug report to something like: 'kmail
should select the first mail in a folder and set the focus to the email list
panel if the user clicks on the folder and kmail does not have a previously
selected email'. Do you agree? And what exact terms describe the scenario best?

Thanks and cheers
Urs

I cannot reproduce that with kmail 5.5.1 on arch linux. I click a folder, then
ctrl+a and all mails are selected.

As I did not state it explicitly. What happened after my click-orgy: All
folders were selected, my short-cut for deleting all started to delete mail
from all folders...

Luckily I have a sufficiently good backup process :-)
