I'm using kmail from kmail 4:3.5.10-0ubuntu1~hardy3. This is from Ubuntu 
eeePC distribution.

Kontact also has some problems with placing its calendar reminder icon 
in the panel. It frequently puts it just on top of the eeePC button at 
the very left corner.

If I click on "Check What the Server Support", it contacts the imap 
server, and then it displays "Encryption: none" and "Authentication 
Method: Clear Text". The other options are grayed out. This is correct, 
as this is the way the server is configured.

"Show only subscribed folders" and "Show only locally subscribed 
folders" are not checked. I've tried to check them and then subscribe to 
folders manually. However, kmail does not fetch a folder list to pick 
from. When I go "subscribe", the folder list to subscribe from stays empty.

Thanks for your help, G.
