Bug 41004

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           kmail
Version:           1.3.2 (using KDE 2.2.2 )
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Mandrake Linux 8.2 i586 - 8.2
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Mandrake Linux 8.2 2.96-0.76mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.17
OS/Compiler notes: 

According to the FAQ for Courier-IMAP this is a client issue. Supposedly Courier-IMAP uses "INBOX." as the namespace for private folders.  The IMAP NAMESPACE extension (see http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2342.txt) allows IMAP clients to automatically discover where the server creates folders and your IMAP client should implement it.

I noticed that when I create a new folder it MUST be a subfolder of "INBOX".  This is not acceptable.  I also noticed this issue with the Mozilla IMAP mail client as well.  Ximian Evolution however does format the folders correctly.

Can this be addressed?
