Description Stefan Kebekus 2007-06-19 12:26:03 UTC 
Version:           1.9.7 (using KDE 3.5.7, compiled sources)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-52)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.21-27.0.1.EL-MI_20050124

I have an IMAP account where I have 

a) folders that contain actual mail

b) folders that contain other folders

It seems that folders of type (b) cannot be removed, even if they are empty. The context menu that opens when I right-click on the folder name in the list of folders does not show the entry "remove folders" that I see in the context menu for folders of type (a). For me, the only way to remove these folders is to move them to the local disk, and to remove them there.

This is something of a nuisance in an otherwise great program. A bugfix would be highly appreciated.

Best,

Stefan.

It has been fixed on newest version (KDE 4). It is no more reproducible. It should be fixed on KDE 3.5.10 too, but I'm not 100% sure of it.
