Nevertheless I just wonder how many people really use IMAP as it is supposed 
to be by storing really all mails on a server. Everywhere people cry for IMAP 
support and somehow consider KMail not as a real e-mail client as long it 
does not support it, as again mentioned as the main lacking feature in a 
recent linuxorbit story.

At least I don't know even one person personally who uses IMAP. I only here 
about it via the internet. For many people POP3 with all its options (Delete 
mails from the server, leave mails on the server, don't delete mails from the 
server) is already too complicated :-)

I myself currently only use it for copying the content of my various 
sent-mail folders on different computers to a central place, since the 
incoming mails anyway arrive everywhere.

Also people complain about KMail being slow with huge folders, switching 
between huge IMAP folders is surely _much_ slower independant of the client.

The patch looks good, please commit.
