The biggest (and perhaps irreconciliable) problem is the completely
different handling of nested folders. OK, mostly converting *existing*
pine folder trees to kmail use and still use pine on them afterwards.

kmail uses a "Folder" | ".Folder/" schemes that is incompatible with
everything else (netscape, mutt etc.)

Is there a non-obvious solution to this?
