           Summary: Manual edit of kmailrc to get IMAP groupware folders
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.9.9
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: torquil gmail com


Version:           1.9.9 (using 3.5.9, Debian Package 4:3.5.9.dfsg.1-2+b1 (lenny/sid))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.24-1-686

I activated the groupware functionality in the KMail preferences, but it did not create the folders Contact, Calendar, and so on. Quitting KMail, and adding a line

TheIMAPResourceAccount=# (where # is the ID of my IMAP account)

in the [IMAP Resource] section, solved the problem. At KMail startup, it then notified my that the needed folders were not there, and asked if it should create those folders. After that everything works, I can use korganizer and kaddressbook with data on the IMAP server. (Now if there was some easy way to transfer all my knotes notes to the imap server without recreating every note one by one...)
