AND pine.  Pine is rather popular.  And the UW imap daemon is the default choice
for most Linux distributions.  So you could safely say that the majority of
users use mail, not Mail, as their folder haven.  Furthermore, KMail should be
smart enough to find mail instead of Mail and use that.

Or are you suggesting that users of Kmail should beg their admin to change their
IMAP server and patch all of the other mail software to pick up Mail instead of
mail?  I have the feeling it should be the other way.

I propose further change.  Mail (or mail, or whatever mail folder name it is)
should only keep mail folders.  Indexes and stuff should be kept separate, in a
hidden folder or KMail's configuration folder (which happens to be hidden too).

That way we separate application data (indexes) and user data.
