I too am using courier-imap.   It's interesting if that could be 
significant:  perhaps sometime I'll try this dovecot thing in earnest.

It's rather strange:  two computers that I use, both with the same 
hardware and gentoo installation of KDE, both using the same IMAP 
server, and the main difference being the local versus remote 
home/auth/userinfo (nfs, nis).   Only on the one using the remote 
services does the problem occur (quite often).  The other has never 
shown it.  The KDE configs were set up on one of the computers (I 
forget which, but probably the remote-home one) and copied to the 
other, so should be similar too.


Kmail's entire handling of imap folders leaves much to be desired:  many 
friends of mine have remarked on this, using gentoo, suse, etc.  When a 
mailbox has been accessed by another program while kmail is open, e.g. 
various emails have come to and gone from the inbox, then one has at 
least to move to another folder, do a "check mail", then move back 
again to inbox (and possibly repeat this process) before the current 
state is correctly shown.

I shall endeavour to test another imap server just to see if that helps 
at all.
