I'm sorry you got that impression but it is not correct. Please take 
the time to read throught the comments for this bug and you will see 
that Ingo Kloecker did offer an explanation why this won't be 
changed. It's just that you and Ingo have different priorities - you 
simply can't agree, even after exchanging all arguments.

It's not true that the KMail developers offered no explanation. So 
please don't say stuff like this. Maybe you should try to talk to 
Microsoft and convince them to change the location of the mail 
folders in Outlook - I wish you good luck. Probably, they won't even 
answer.

Saying this is a bad idea, with all the explanation from Ingo (who is 
KMail's maintainer) is more than enough reason to reject a patch. If 
the KMail developers were to accept any random patch that is 
submitted, KMail wouldn't work as good as it does.

What makes me angry is that "julo@altern.org" simply reopened the bug 
report without convincing the KMail developers. I feel he didn't 
offer reasonable explanation and he should accept that the ultimate 
decision about whose arguments are more important should be left to 
the KMail developers, specifically it's maintainer.

Oh, this email I'm answering to was in a very non-technical, emotional 
and offensive style that is not at all productive for this 
discussion. Maybe you should rather try to find new arguments for 
your proposal if this is really so important for you.
