Description karaluh 2009-08-12 15:14:16 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

When I set an IMAP acount I also want drafts, sent and trash to be synced. I don't need local folders at all. So after creation of imap acount:
1. local folders should be disabled
2. drafts, sent and trash folders should be automaticly configured, with appriopriate icons and so on.

Hope it is okay for you that I mark this as a duplicate of something very similar. I don't think that kmail should automatically remove the local folders when there is an IMAP folder add - people often have several mailboxes and some may still be POP3. But it should possible to hide the local folders, as proposed in bug #44864

I don't think it can be considered as duplicate of 44864. Although they are connected, their targets atr different and will be implemented separately too, I guess.

My question is, do we really want the local folders to automatically disappear when an IMAP account is added? I think not. But we want them to be removeable. Wouldn't that do what is essentially wanted?
