Ok, great ... then it means I am doing something wrong.  I am running UW-IMAP 
and I do not get that dialog you are talking about.  I am glad it is 
supported, I must just find a way of getting it to work.  I will check into 
it, but the dialog I am getting does not prompt me whether I want a create a 
folder that can contain subfolders or not.  Subsequently it fails when I try 
to create subfolders in a folder I already created.  I am running the HEAD 
version of KMail.

Is anyone working on this ?

Should I do this or is someone else already busy with it ?
