I can confirm this bug for several versions of KMail (as part of Kontact). I first encountered it with KMail as part of the proko2 version of Kontact (from kolab.org - Kontact proko2.1.5 on SuSE 10.0, KDE 3.4.2, Qt 3.3.4) more than a year ago. This bug was reported then to the Kolab developer team as issue1578 (https://www.intevation.de/roundup/kolab/issue1578), but I was referred to kde.org.

This issue still persists with the Kontact Enterprise version we are currently running:

kontact --version
Qt: 3.3.8b
KDE: 3.5.9
Kontact: 1.2.9 (enterprise 20080509.805827)

kmail --version
Qt: 3.3.8b
KDE: 3.5.9
KMail: 1.9.9 (enterprise 20080509.805827)

This is the version I got from kolab.org and rebuilt for Kubuntu 8.04.

The problem was reproducible 100% in all versions I have used in between and manifests itself in exactly the way the original poster describes. The folders will become accessible for mail copy/move when I add "write" permissions. Unfortunately, adding "write" also allows other users to delete mails in that folder, which is not what I want.

In a DIMAP (cached IMAP) account, shared folders with "append" permissions work exactly like they should, i.e. other users can add mail, but not delete.

As a server, we use Kolab 2.1, which includes cyrus 2.2.12, release 2.5.0_kolab2.
