Hi,

I just discovered that disconnected IMAP (dimap) in Kmail doesn't respect the folder setting in kmailrc. I have:
folders=$HOME/.Mail

Set and all mam POP mail is there. However, I still get decently new files in my ~/.kdemod4/share/apps/kmail:
neuro@hermes:~/.kdemod4/share/apps/kmail# ls -al
total 84
drwx------  7 neuro users 4096 02-28 12:40 .
drwx------ 89 neuro users 4096 02-27 20:05 ..

drwx------ 10 neuro users 4096 12-10 14:11 dimap

And in dimap I have:
neuro@hermes:~/.kdemod4/share/apps/kmail/dimap# ls -al
total 72

Shouldn't this all be kept in ~/.Mail? Is there a separate option?

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2.

We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
