If did a very quick test with the public IMAP server at 
news.uslinuxtraining.com (see http://www.kde.org/mailinglists.html).

1st problem:
Only 'Posteingang' (== INBOX) is displayed in the selection list. The 
over 1000 real IMAP folders are all missing.

2nd problem:
Check the checkbox of a folder. Then click reload folder list. The 
checkbox of this folder (probably of all folders but I only saw one 
folder because of the 1st problem) is unchecked although the folder is 
still in the list of subscribed folders. If I check the checkbox again 
the folder is added again to the list of subscribed folders. It now 
appears twice in the list.

3rd problem (most likely related to your patch):
KMail HEAD doesn't work at all very good with the above server. Somehow 
it seems to add a whole lot of cancel folders under each normal folder. 
This doesn't happen with KMail 3_1.

OTOH, using this server with KMail 3_1 is also very annoying. After 
setting up the server you have to wait 15-30 minutes (this is from the 
university where I have a really fast connection) until KMail has 
created the 1000+ dummy (empty) index files and serial number files for 
all folders on the server. IMO creating any folder related files (index 
files, serial number files, etc.) should be delayed until the user 
actually clicks on a folder. If feasible not even the directory 
structure should be build locally until needed. This would not only 
speed up the first connection but also the startup of KMail since 
instead of 1000+ serial number files much less serial number files 
would have to be read.

Regards,
Ingo
