When there is no mail displayed in the message view, e.g., one of akonadi's
i-m-not-serving-any-requests-periods, then the focus won't leave the search
field.

Hi! I am not sure, if this really is the same problem, but as I see it, I do
see a general problem with the focus strategy. :-)

1. Whenever I select an e-Mail, the mail view is focused. This means, that
actions like delete don't work anymore. Only when I select an e-Mail a second
time, things are back to normal and the focus stays in the message list.

2. Whenever I enter text into the search field, right after updating the
message list, the focus seems to go to the mail view, too. Of course, any
keystrokes won't go to the search field anymore. This is similar to the
original problem here and can be reproduced reliably without any folder change.

The description of where the focus goes has been derived from ticking shift-tab
until I was back at the search field. Assuming "Search Field" - "Message List"
- "Message View" tab order. I.e., I went back and forth to see where the focus
has ended up.

My kde installation is up to date. I.e., kmail 16.12.0, plasma 5.8.5, and
frameworks 5.29. The patch noted in Comment 1 is already applied, as far as I
can see.

I am not sure, when this started. Probably with the qtwebengine version? Does
the mail view now focus itself?

I really like kmail, so thanks for looking into this!

It seems to be something else than your patch fixes, since I can wait for
some/lots seconds, even selecting a mail in the message list, etc.
Just Typing "cv" and the focus is gone.

But it somehow depends on which folder I have selected before.
E.g. I have an IMAP account and the "Local Folders".
Selecting any folder from the IMAP account and I can type "cvs".
Selecting "Local Folders" (root node) - works
Selecting Inbox below - fails
Selecting a subfolder of inbox (Local Folders -> inbox -> Junk) already fails
when typing "c"
Selecting "sent mails" - works
Selecting a subfolder of sent mails (Local Folders -> sent mails -> subfolder)
- fails

It seems it has to do with the filtering itself. E.g. when I type the tree is
automatically filtered.

Ok, I think I see the pattern:
Whenever the currently selected folder in the tree is filtered away, the focus
gets lost
... well at least kind of. It's not always this pattern :-(

Do you mean that typing "cvs" always loses focus while typing it, or only when
doing this shortly after switching to another folder ?

The bug I know about (and fixed in https://phabricator.kde.org/D2642, pending
review; feel free to test this patch) happens when typing into a quick-search
filter (any one of the two) just after switching folders, because the
messagelist steals focus at the end of the folder loading (when enabling one of
the options like "select the last message" or "select the first unread email").

Is this what you mean, or something else?
