Just to be sure I understand this correctly: you have a local imap server
and you create/delete the folders that this server manages with kmail? If
you limit it to folders then it's ok but if you also manage your emails
with  this combination I'd say "good luck". KMail has it's own way to
store flags and every imap server has it's own structure.
