hi anne,
to be clear about my problem, i'm using imap and just recently cleaned out my 
home directory by renaming the old one and using a new one, so all local 
kmail files are new, the sent mail folders that 'find messages' hang on are 
ones that are specified in the advanced tab of an identity's settings, no 
matter where in the folder tree the sent folder for an identity is, the first 
one that occurs in the recursive search - 'include sub-folders' - causes 
the 'find messages' to hang, and i have to restart kmail to get it working 
again, sometimes twice. i have made brand new folders and made those into 
sent folders, i have made sure the folder is empty; i'm not sure what you 
mean by 'Find the folder that serves that particular sent-mail' the sent 
folder for an identity should hold all mail sent by that identity no matter 
what mail/folder was being replied to n'est-ce pas?
i've ssh'ed into the cyrus server machine and looked at the mail folders 
directly, i can't see any problems though i admit i'm not sure i would know 
if there were any.
the imap server is cyrus-imapd, i'm using altnamespace:yes and 
unixhierarchysep:yes in my imapd.conf so that i can have more than just the 
one 'inbox' top level folder.
there is the ordinary 'sent-mail' folder displayed just below the inbox and 
the 'find messages' never hangs on searching that.
i would suspect that this was kmail/imap thing except i can't see why 
searching for messages could possibly involve the status of a folder being 
a 'sent' folder which is a kmail side only thing and not an imap thing, if i 
remove all custom sent folders from my identities then searching works fine.
just to check i fired up thunderbird on a winbox and that gave no problems in 
searching.
i find it hard to believe that i'm the only user to have custom identity sent 
folders and who uses imap but it would be useful to hear that someone has 
this combination and that searching does/doesn't work for them
