Here you can find functionallity that still needs to be discussed, wether it makes sense to add it to the mobile version of KDE PIM.

We do not need this

• Print, Rationale: not practical from a handheld decive, most have no printer connection
• Shortcuts (keyboard "accellerators"), Rationale: not needed in a touch screen handheld
• General Sieve Skripts
• Out of office replies - use web-interface if needed
• Multiple views - substituted by favorites concepts
• Select all text - shortcut - not needed
• Expire all folders - should be done automatically - no need to show this in the interface
• Refresh local imap cache - not needed in KDEE 4.5 -
• Undo

We need to discuss this

• Templates (Format of replies etc.) - global, identity, folder - what do we need? - if possible move to external configurator - definitely no templates needed for folders
• Certificate Manager - we need to provide basic features on the phone, supported by Kleopatra on the desktop; analysis of problems should be possible mobile
• What does subscription actually do? Belongs to account level.
• View source - how expensive is this?
• Use fixed font - how expensive is this?
• Copy - check that copying text is possible
• General log viewer should contain: GnuPG log viewer, KDebug, Std. Error, ...
• To many receivers warning, if replying to X addressees a visual reminder or dialog should be shown
• Which email forwarding "modes" do we need? Currently with e3.5 it's possible to forward a mail "in line", "as attachment" or to redirect a mail.

We need to integrate this

• Show message structure - we need some smart solution to handle multiple attachement and enbedded mails and to include parts of other objects into object (e.g. mail - to substitute drag&drop)
• Filter
• Threads / Move thread to trash / Mark thread as...
• Anti-Spam (we will not provide an anti spam program - but we should be able to sort incoming mails by server added tags)
• Anti-Virus (we will not provide an anti virus program - but we should be able to sort incoming mails by server added tags)
• Folder specific sync & bandwidth and netstatus specific sync parameter
• Fulltext search in attachments
• Attachment missing warning if the email text contains the word attachment or "Anhang"
