           Summary: kmail 4.7 doesn't import IMAP subfolders properly.
           Product: kmail2
           Version: 1.99.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: folders
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: lnxusr at westlot.net


Version:           1.99.0 (using KDE 4.7.0) 
OS:                Linux

I use a home Ubuntu server with a local IMAP server.  When I upgraded to KDE
PIM 4.7 and started kmail, the import dialog appeared.  I clicked OK or
Continue (I don't recall exactly which it offered to go on) and off it went,
importing the old kmail data.  Everything seemed to go fine, no error dialogs
or whatnot.

After KMail started up, all my IMAP folders and subfolders were present and
address book and calendar data from Google came in fine.  I opened my IMAP
inbox, and it was empty.  I exited and restarted KMail and my IMAP inbox was
then populated with the email from my server.  It seems all top level folders
(I have several) under the IMAP server were populated with the email, but any
subfolders under them were empty.  I closed KMail and restarted several times
to no avail. I even went so far as to reboot my computer, but nothing would
bring in the email from the subfolders.

Crating a new account using my IMAP details resulted in everything working just
fine.  The IMAP folders and all subfolders imported just fine with all email on
my server present.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Sort of removing KDE PIM and all associated files, reinstalling KDE PIM 4.4
then upgrading again, I  have no idea how to even try to reproduce this.

Actual Results:  
Not all IMAP subfolders are properly populated with email on server.

Expected Results:  
All email is located in proper subfolder.

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.38-10-generic-pae
Compiler: gcc
