Confirmed.

I've just set up an old IMAP account in kmail-1.9.6 (kde-3.5.6, qt-3.3.8).  It contains these folders:

Archive
  2006-12
  2006-05
  2005-10
  2005-03

KMail is stuck in what appears to be an infinite loop.  The progress bar shows 25% most of the time. Every now and then it blips up to 95% for a split second as it moves on to the next folder. But it just cycles through them, never stopping.

So it spends most of its time saying:

2006-12 Retrieving message list
2006-05 Retrieving message list
2005-10 Retrieving message list
2005-03 Retrieving message list
Archive Retrieving message list
2006-12 Retrieving message list
2005-10 Retrieving message list
Sent Retrieving message list

I may have the order wrong.

My tcpdump looks the same.
