Ask for confirmation before moving all messages to trash

Enable this option if you want to be asked for confirmation whenever you use Folder->Move All Messages to Trash.

Exclude important messages from expiry

Enable this option if important messages should never be deleted during message expiration, i.e. during automatic deletion of old messages.

When trying to find unread messages

This option controls what happens if you press one of the shortcuts to go to the next or previous unread message (e.g. Space). If you ask KMail to go to the next unread message although there is no unread message below the currently selected message then the following happens:

  • If Do not Loop is selected then nothing will happen.

  • If Loop in Current Folder is selected then KMail will search from the beginning of the current folder for an unread message. If none is found then nothing happens.

  • If Loop in All Folders is selected then KMail will first search in the current folder for another unread message. If none is found then KMail will search the next folder containing unread messages.

Correspondingly, if you ask KMail to go to the previous unread message.

Jump to first unread message when entering a folder

If this option is enabled KMail will go to the first unread message when you enter a folder; if it is not enabled, KMail will go to first new message or, if there is no new message, to the message that was selected when you last left the folder.

Mark selected message as read after...

When you select a new or unread message, KMail will change the message's status to read after the number of seconds entered here. If you disable this option, messages will keep their new or unread status.

Ask for action after dragging messages to another folder

When you drag a message to a different folder, a small popup will ask you if you want to move or copy the message. If you disable this option, the message will be moved immediately, without a popup.

By default, message folders on disk are...

Here you can set the default folder format that is used when you create a new folder.

Open this folder on startup

Here you can set the folder that should be selected by default if you start KMail. If you use only IMAP folders then you might want to set this to your IMAP inbox folder.

Empty trash on program exit

The trash folder is cleared of messages when you quit KMail if this option is selected.
