Bug#332473: we are documenting the behavior of dimap in kmail

thanks

Since upstream seems to think that the current behavior of kmail (syncing a 
folder at a time) is the way it was designed to work, we have decided to 
document the behavior with a warning that not using dimap as upstream 
intended can result in lost mail.  This will be documented in both 
kmail/README.Debian, and hpoefully in a dialog that is shown upon creating 
a dimap account.  The release team has told us that such documentation 
would make this a non-release critical issue.

Since the warning warns against using kmail in the way it is used in these 
bugs to cause mail loss, the kdepim upload will close these bugs in its 
changelog.  That also will make tracking the RC bug in etch easier than 
just downgrading the bugs.  If someone wants to open another bug of non-RC 
severity against kmail for not doing atomic updates of mail moves, they are 
welcome to do so.  Debian is unlikely to do anything about it unless 
upstream does, however.

Thanks for everyone's help in tracking down the issues involved with dimap 
and kmail.
