Description uzs5p3 2003-02-02 23:13:28 UTC 
Version:           1.5 (using KDE 3.1.0)
Installed from:     (3.0)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.4 20011002 (Debian prerelease)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-raid

When creating a new (sub-)folder with leading dots (i.e. "...anyname"), only the first dot gets deleted.
Apparently KMail doesn't handle folders with leading dots very well, because on next startup folders with any dots left are not displayed. To get them back it is sufficient to rename them by hand, however. A work-around for the whole problem is to just add a space in front (" ...anyname").

Until KMail can recognize folders with leading dots, it should either remove all dots, or add a harmless character.

Thanks for the bug report. I fixed it by removing all leading dots.
