Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Hello,
imap ioslaves are great.

but connecting to a imap / imaps server using the imap/imaps ioslaves within konqueror or the open-file dialog makes the ioslave display existing folders not as "Folder" type but as documents of "Unknown" type.
As a consequence, one cannot browse the imap-folder from within konqueror.
More problematic is the fact that third party software can't recurse inside the imap tree folder using kio::listdir, because the listdir ioslave relies on the "Folder" type to identify folders.

Thanks for reading

Confirmed.

Reassigning the bugs of the SMTP, IMAP and POP ioslaves to kdepim-bugs.

kio_imap4 doesn't exist anymore.
