Introduction

Qt mobility messaging when used with Qt Quick, involves the component of MessageModel. Due to a bug in the implementation, standard folders enums are not exposed to QML:

enum StandardFolder {
    InboxFolder = QMessage::InboxFolder,
    DraftsFolder = QMessage::DraftsFolder,
    OutboxFolder = QMessage::OutboxFolder,
    SentFolder = QMessage::SentFolder,
    TrashFolder = QMessage::TrashFolder
}

To add folder filters, one have to use the values by hand:

MessageFilter {
    type: MessageFilter.StandardFolder
    value: 4 //MessageFilter.SentFolder
    comparator: MessageFilter.Equal
}
