KMail 1.9.5

A search of the KDE-PIM archives and a quick google search didn't return 
anything relevant, so here I post.

I'm testing Dovecot and KMail together, and for the most part, 
everything works fine.  I can read messages, and I can see all folders 
that are present.  I am using Maildir++ on the dovecot site.

If I create a folder from KMail (in the top level), it will show up.  If 
I create a subfolder of said folder, it will not show up.  
Investigation reveals why:

Dovecot creates folders using the structure:

.Folder
.Folder.SubFolder
etc

So, the first time through Maildir/.Folder is created.  But when I 
created the subfolder, Maildir/.Folder/SubFolder was created, which 
KMail then couldn't see (but it gave an error if I tried it again).  If 
I renamed Maildir/.Folder/SubFolder to Maildir/.Folder.SubFolder, KMail 
could now see it, and access it.

Is KMail creating directories directly instead of using an IMAP call?  
Has anyone else seen this?

This seems to be a KMail bug, since Thunderbird properly 
creates .Folder.SubFolder when creating a subfolder.

Anyone care to comment?
