Description René Fleschenberg 2007-09-22 21:57:06 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
After struggling for a long time with Beagle not finding most of the e-mails i was searching, I was told by dBera in #dashboard that Beagle's kmail backend excludes folders named "trash", "outbox", "drafts" and "spam" from searching.


Steps to reproduce:
1. Use Beagle to search for mail in a folder with one of the blacklisted names.

Actual results:
Beagle does not find the mail.

Expected results:
Beagle finds the mail.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
Please remove that blacklist, or make it configurable by the user. I think that many people want to use Beagle to search their Trash folder, and renaming it is not always feasible.

I checked in a fix in svn trunk (r4101) yesterday to store the blacklist in beagle configuration files. Now users can change the blacklist by using beagle-settings/beagle-config.
