Package: kmail
Version: 4:3.5.2-1+b2
Severity: normal


Hi, this could be a documentation problem ... but kmail seems to have
neither an up-to-date home page nor is the help of much use.

Here some details:

On my Cyrus IMAP server I see (as user cyrus) folders like

   user.centauri
   user.centauri.Archive
   user.centauri.Current

and as user centauri:

   INBOX
   INBOX.Archive
   INBOX.Current

e.g. INBOX is a prefix for the folders that actually contain my data.
In previous versions kmail allowed me to specify "INBOX." as a prefix
and the folder tree in kmail looked as I wanted:

   Centauri
   -+-Archive
    +-Current

Since 3.5 this no longer works (the prefix option is gone) and setting
"personal" in the namespace fields does not help. The confusing tree
looks now like:

   Centauri
   ---INBOX
      -+-Archive
       +-Current

This unwanted "INBOX" is quite confusing for most people and wastes space
on the screen.
