Almost.

We don't slaughter anyone. :-)

kdepim-users is more appropriate it seems. And for development issues 
the more general development list kde-pim should be used.

I'll move the thread to the kdepim-users list. Please send replies only 
to kdepim-users.

Thanks. That's good to hear.

Unless you want to filter those messages to a special folder this sounds 
like a use case for virtual/search filters. Currently they do not work 
that good, but that will hopefully change with Akonadi.

Please submit a wish at bugs.kde.org.

Which authentication method are you using? Does it help if you change 
it? In particular, the MD5 methods sometimes cause problems.

Very recently a problem with servers not sending the capabilities 
automatically after starting TLS has been fixed. I'm not sure whether 
this might explain your problem.

Yeah, that's a bug. I have the same setup (same address in two 
identities) and I'm also annoyed by this problem. (But obviously not 
annoyed enough to actually fix it. *sigh*)
