Depends on  KDE 3.5.x
Downloads:  1261
Submitted:  Mar 11 2006

Description:

I decided to finally publicize this patch a bit more, since I am using it and am quite happy. This is a patch on top of the KDE 3.5.1 code for KMail. It introduces custom tagging support for emails. Since KDE is in feature freeze, I decided to maintain it as a patch until a merge into the next version is viable.

Here is what the patch adds:
* Ability to tag emails (with possibly more than one tag)
* Changing the appearance of message headers (font and text color) according to the message's tags.
* Configuration of tags through a new tab called "Message Tags" on the "Configure KMail->Appearance" configuration page.
* You can add toolbar buttons for easy tagging.
* You can assign shortcuts to tags.
* Tagging through the right-click menu.
* Quick filtering using the combobox for "status" filtering. See the screenshot.

For bugs and problems, feel free to send an email.

Disclaimer: This patch is still in experimental state. So before trying, it is strongly advised that you backup your emails and settings. ( usually in ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail and ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc )

0.2.6 : Minor fix - added check for null pointers

Have you added this as a wish at bugs.kde.org? Would be a good way to get the attention from the developers and regular people could vote for it.

Nice patch I must say=) This is something I've been thinking for Kmail for some time now.

There are already bugs that request this feature.

And other developers are already aware of the patch, I am going to work on incorporating this to the next version.

Thanks for the suggestions, though.

Do I understand you correct? You are trying to get it into default kmail 3.5.2? :-)

No, sorry, I should have been more explicit. I meant to say KDE 4.0. 3.5.x is in feature freeze right now.

Up until now, I had never actually given it much thought at being able to do this in Kmail. Now, I can think of plenty of reasons to have a feature like this. Nice work.

Total n00b question: How do I apply it?

You will need the source code for kdepim 3.5.1. You can obtain it from the kde anonymous svn server, for which you will need the subversion program. Or you can use your distribution's package manager. For the first method:
mkdir ~/repository
cd ~/repository
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/tags/KDE/3.5.1/kdepim

Then you need to apply the patch:
cd ~/repository/kdepim/kmail
patch -p1 < /path/to/kmail.tagging.patch

After this, you need to compile and install kdepim:
cd ~/repository/kdepim
make -f Makefile.cvs && ./configure [optional arguments like --enable-debug --with-gnokii --with-sasl --prefix=/path/to/alternative/installation/dir ] && make && make install

* Of course, depending on your distribution, there might be easier alternatives (e.g. Gentoo)
* Giving a --prefix option to configure might be appealing if you don't want to overwrite your original kdepim applications

Actually, I am using Gentoo however, I'm not too worried about having to emerge kdepim again if there goes south. So, do I follow the steps above for Gentoo or do I modify the package to include the patch and let emerge handle the rest?

I added the Gentoo ebuild as well. The instructions are:

echo 'PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage ${PORDIR_OVERLAY}"' >> /etc/make.conf

mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/kde-base/kdepim/files

cp kmail.tagging.0.2.6.patch /usr/local/portage/kde-base/kdepim/files

cp kdepim-3.5.1-r1.ebuild /usr/local/portage/kde-base/kdepim

cd /usr/local/portage/kde-base/kdepim/files

ln -s kmail.tagging.0.2.6.patch kmail.tagging.last.patch

cd ..

ebuild kdepim-3.5.1-r1.ebuild digest

emerge -av kdepim

I used the linking trick to try to avoid recompiling with every minor change, since I use FEATURES="keeptemp keepwork noclean" while emerging kdepim. But currently it doesn't look like it's working.

I like it. But there is some overlap with the existing tags of "important" and "to do". If this will be incorporated into Kmail, maybe there needs to be some more thought put into unifying the the existing tags with your.

I am planning on adding that functionality in a later version. Some things I have in mind are:
* Automatic tagging through filters
* Searching based on tags ( which enables having 'tag folders' through use of search folders )
* A column for tags in the header view

Do you like or dislike Ubuntu Unity?
 Yes, unity is alien technology!
 It is less confusing than Gnome 3 default, shell.
 Granny thinks it is much more usable than Gnome 2
 Canonical is embarrasing itself with this split project
 Gnome 3 default shell is much better
 I dislike Unity, Gnome 3 default shell is alien technology!
 None of the above, I like the 2Gb for free and Apple alike behavior. Will post a comment instead
