SUMMARY
When attempting to create a new imap folder,  with the the "New Subfolder"
function under filter rules,  a new folder is created, but it is visible only
by kmail. The new folder is not created on the server.  This is not consistent:
The parent folder is a real imap-folder,  but the new subfolder is in fact just
a local folder, and its emails are just stored local.
When the filters move emails to the new Subfolder, the filters keep on putting
duplicate emails in the subfolder.

Confusing situation:
Later attempts to move emails from this fake subfolder to real  imap folders,
makes a lot of emails under imapfolder, that is just stored local.
This makes a confusing situation, when kmail has a lot of subfolders and emails
under imap folders, but from the user interface, you can't see which of the
emails, and wich folders are stored on the server, and wich are just local.
This is a confusing situation, because a big number of duplicate emails are
created, and when you delete thousends of duplicate, you never know if you
delete local duplicate or the real imap emails, and i have found no workaround
to rescue emails that are just saved local.
