Thanks for your response. I am somewhat qualified, although utterly ignorant 
of both KDE and IMAP, and I am also very time-poor. I am in the final 4 
months of my PhD in Mathematics at UNSW, and desperately need to get on with 
my writing up. Trouble is, I use Kmail/IMAP all the time, and so am intrigued 
by the error handling, debugging etc., and so do what I can.
