I'm using Mdk8.2 and KMail 1.4; you may not need to go to Dolphin just yet. When I right click on a folder I get the following options: Create Child Folder Properties Compact ------------------------- Mark All Messages As Read Empty Remove Under Properties I get a long screen with six headings. Folder Position Folder Type Associated Mailing List Old Message Expiry Identity Show Sender/Receiver Under Old Message Expiry you can set it for both Unread messages and Read messages. Hope that helps. David -- Three marvelous deeds: to forgive a wrong done; to amend everything possible; to refrain from injustice.
