Description Yan 2018-11-11 09:30:34 UTC
Let's imagine I have account A and B.

Steps that I do in thunderbird:
1. Enter account details, including smpt/imap config.
2. Most likely all remote folders are configured correct, anyway there are obvious tabs in account settings to bind remote SENT, JUNK, TRASH, TEMPLATES, DRAFT folders.

In contrast in KMail after adding account I have to **MANUALLY**:
1. set trash folder to the remote counterpart
2. create new profile, enter the same mailbox
3. manually set all 3 folders to the remote ones and set smpt server.

Moreover first time I was googling how to solve this issue

So in conclusion there are two enhancements that should take place:
1. For each new mailbox new profile should be created with appropriate default configuration
2. Kmail should try to find automatically remote folders counterparts with correct role
