Attached simple hack shell script to extract sections (and counts
from kmailrc, puts section in /tmp/kmailrc.{section} and section
count in  /tmp/kmailrc.{section}.count.

Then you can append this to users kmailrc, but ensure you enter correct
filters={count} in [General] section.

Note: if users already have fillters the numbers will need incrementing.

Hope this helps, feel free to hack script

Regards

Dave
