Package: kmail Version: 2.2.1-1.4 kmail should not select the next available message when deleting something. The reason is that the following message is thereby marked as read, even though one just intended to delete some uninteresting messages. Of course, that way you can't go through your mails deleting them one by one. Maybe one keybinding to 'delete currently selected messages' and one to 'delete currently selected messages and select next' would make everybody happy ?
