Seen this on kmail in Kubuntu 10.04. Adding to that, it seems that kmail in
this environment tries to traverse all possible namespaces of the IMAP server
(INBOX, user. , as well as global / shared folders) and list virtually any
folder the user is allowed to access. The error messages pop up as soon as I
start kmail and even try accessing the account in question, basically rendering
kmail unusable for me right now. Generally, I wonder whether it is desirable to
have the MUA initially scan the whole IMAP tree for available folders as (given
a large server environment) this definitely will show things down initially and
permanently (checking for new mail in these folders) while leaving the user
lost amongst a vast load of folders (s)he doesn't know / care about... Limiting
the folders visible by default to a smaller selection (INBOX only?) would
eventually eliminate this problem as well...
