This last point is a misunderstanding. "mixed mail" has nothing to do=20
with IMAP or dIMAP, but only with locally stored mail. The confusion is=20
probably caused by the fact that in KMail1 for IMAP the locally cached=20
information (the headers of the messages) was stored in an mbox folder=20
hierarchy while for dIMAP the locally cached messages were stored in a=20
maildir folder hierarchy. But those caches were completely independent=20
from the mixed maildir/mbox folder hierarchy used for storing the local=20
mail. Was this understandable?
