In answer to Duncan you said that they were created automatically when you 
connected to Gmail, so probably you should simply leave them alone.

Change which properties?  From what, to what?  I'm not sure that these are 
KMail folders, actually, being more like mirrors of the Gmail folders, so 
maybe the properties of them shouldn't be touched?

OK - so, as in GMail, they are sub-sets of your Inbox, not actually separate 
at all.  Again, they can't and shouldn't be treated as KMail folders, I think.

This would be so much easier if I could try the setup here, but it's simply 
not practical for me, as I need my local IMAP server, with clients on various 
boxes and laptops.  For now it looks as though we may just have to wait until 
a Gmail IMAP user comes back.  Sorry that it looks like a dead-end.

Duncan - that error message pointing to the [Gmail] folder still worries me.  
Any ideas on that?
