Greets,
I wanted to thank those that responded. The advice was very useful and I am
now able to navigate the lists effectively. I don't see a batching option, or
thread delete on kmail - yet. But Now I just read thru the thread and
select it and use the 'd' key. Very nice.
thanks again.

Hello,
I really like being able to thread messages on lists, but reading through
them is next to impossible. I just finished re-reading the help files but
I don't see any way to read the mail without jumping wildly through out
read and unread messages.
What I would like to do is have my mail sorted by date, then by threads.
Now, the first thread that I come to is ok, the next will jump somewhere
deep into un-read territory. Finally the next may or may not take me to
the next thread. So my next unread message is lost in the depths of
unread mails, instead of back to the top to continue reading in a linear
date sorted fashion. Other mailers do this?
Any help on reading mails with threading enabled would be much
appreciated. I'm obviously missing the finer points of this code.

I think your major problem is that (it sounds like) you are deleteing each
email as you read it. When you do that, Kmail resorts all of the other
messages in the thread, and splits stuff off/whatnot because the missing
email can't be referenced anymore. The work around is to read throughout
the thread, and then delete in batches. For instance, I read your email
and then the reply by Hendrik before deleting either, because otherwise
Hendrik's would have dropped four messages down to the bottom of my inbox.
Not optimal, but as long as kmail immediately moves deleted mail to the
trash, instead of just marking them as deleted (like mutt), this will be
an issue.
HTH,

P.S. I'm not advocating a mark for delete paradigm. I much prefer the
current system. But I do recognize the tradeoff :-)
