<p>> ok, I just tried with a clean user account. Fired up kontact, created</p>
<p>> a dIMAP account pointing to my standard IMAP account. I selected</p>
<p>> "Standard (Ical/vcard)" format for the groupware folders and put the</p>
<p>> correct folders into the "Resource folders are subfolders of:" field.</p>
<p>> The result was, well, nothing it didn't seem to recognize the existing</p>
<p>> folders :-(. When I deselected "Hide groupware folders" other folders</p>
<p>> were showing up, WTF??</p>
<p>></p>
<p>> Then I switched to XML format for the groupware folders and just as</p>
<p>> Ingo has said, kmail asked if it should create the folders as</p>
<p>> subfolders of my inbox. I canceled that and reverted to the standard</p>
<p>> format. Then I added a IMAP resource to kaddressbook, but nothing</p>
<p>> seemed to happen. But when I restarted kontact, suddenly the groupware</p>
<p>> folders were recognized and the IMAP resource was working. Also in</p>
<p>> kmail the groupware folders are shown with the correct special icons.</p>
<p>> Now also the "Hide groupware folders" option works correctly.</p>
<p>></p>
<p>> I guess the restart of kontact triggered some refresh or something?</p>
<p>></p>
<p>> Anyway, it doesn't seem to be necessary to tell kmail what the folder</p>
<p>> contains (Contacts, Calendar, etc.), it will somehow find out itself,</p>
<p>> presumably from the folder names.</p>
<p>></p>
<p>I've been short of time this week, so haven't been able to follow this up. Meanwhile, samba is now working correctly and I can see my home directory and the calendar is readable in korganizer. What has changed? Nothing in my configuration. The only thing I can think of is that I installed smb4k. It's sitting in my taskbar, doing nothing. Why would that matter? Dunno. All I know is that things suddenly started working after I did that.</p>
