           Summary: kmail does not show new mails are in the inbox for
                    some mail servers, if the inbox folder is not opened
           Product: kmail
           Version: 1.13.5
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: IMAP
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: K_2005 at goelzer.de


Version:           1.13.5 (using KDE 4.5.4) 
OS:                Linux

I have several imap mailboxes. For the ones on the mailserver at
imap.strato.de, new mails are only shown if i open the inbox folder there, 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
create an account for receiving mail, imap, authorization, server as needed.

open it, make sure it is working, then select some other folder and send a mail
to that account.
Wait for the interval mail check, click on "check mail", selecting that
account.

Actual Results:  
The folder is not shown to contain new mails. On the contrary, the status bar
gives a message "Transmission for account foobar complete. No new messages".
If the inbox folder of that account is opened, new messages are shown, and the
usual popup appears

Expected Results:  
The number of new messages is correctly shown.

This bug seems to affect only specific mailservers(i only know the one of
strato, there might be others), and only in imap mode. disconnected imap works
as expected.
