Does kmail threading work well (compare to outlook -ouch),
can't seem to get it right

Want Threading descending and group by threads,
Plus, watch threads in front would be nice...


TIA

It's a little odd. Go to Folder -> Thread Messages to get it threaded. Then
when you click the "Order of arrival" column it actually changes function a
few times, so click it more than once.

That's my limit of skillz.

"Outlook" threading doesn't work at all, you must mean Outlook Express.

Afaict, you're just asking about display formats, not threading - which is
specifically about linking each mail to a previous one via
either "References:" or "In-Reply-To:" headers.

KMail threads, and it even lets you cheat and include messages with the same
subject that have no references (because so may OE versions didn't bother
to include them). Then it displays the threads in a standard tree format.

I've no idea what this means, but KMail doesn't have any particular options
for watched threads.

Click on the message, right click, watch thread.

That makes a thread "watched" - I didn't say kmail doesn't have the ability
to watch threads. All that does is let you mark a thread as watched, and I
would expect to be able to filter based on it, but that's all.

Watch a thread and then at the top right, select status 'Watched' to filter

You're still missing the point. I said I could do that. However, the OP
wanted to do something special with watched threads. I couldn't figure out
_what_, but I do know KMail doesn't do it - because all kmail can do is
watch a thread or filter it.
