Darn, I thought that perhaps it had gone away.

I have added the "founds" for this version for the sake of clarity, but 
it isn't necessary to mark "founds" for every last upload; the bug is 
assumed to be present by the BTS unless marked fixed.

Perhaps a better solution would be disable dimap support in the 3.5.3 
upload, and make sure that the fixed package makes Etch (which is 
looming). Daniel, what do you feel about this? Given that upstream 
appears to be unable to replicate and fix the problem, I think this 
might be the safest, and least bothersome (to all other KMail users) 
way of dealing with this issue.

Cheers,
