Alternatively (and more reliably IMHO), set up virtual folders for your
most common correspondents, defining the search criteria as From, To or
CC. This works as far as it goes, but of course doesn't scale as easily
as the Kmail way since there's more work involved in setting it up for
each correspondent.
