Yes, it is.

I was about to write an update on this. After starting and restarting kmail a 
number of times, (including logging out of KDE entirely at least twice) the 
folders magically appeared, and I could access my email. Some of the time.

It seems that IMAP under kmail2 is not terribly stable. It will work ok, but 
then it will refuse to download a message. 

I'm not terribly impressed. I've downgraded to the kdepim44 ports for the time 
being while I decide whether it's worth it or not.

Cheers,
