Sorry, but there is a problem with that. While passing configuration to 
operations like KIO::get, this does not seem to be possible for opening the 
connection.

If I execute

mSlave = KIO::Scheduler::getConnectedSlave(getUrl());
if (!mSlave) return FALSE;
mSlave->setConfig(mSlaveConfig);

in openConnection() the values are not yet there.

Do I have to create the slave myself, or is there a way around this?

BTW: I can of course make the IMAP slave using this way of configuration if 
it works, however it is then inconsistent with POP3.
If a common agreement can be reached, I can also do it for POP3, but at least 
I'm tired of this IMHO stupid fruitless discussions about that.
