Would it be possible, Ingo, for subfolders to inherit settings from the 
parent?  IOW, My KDE-Lists folder has a number of sub-folders.  Would it be 
possible to have a setting that says 'All sub-folders under this folder use 
the Googlemail account to compose, and local smtp to send?

I know it's not possible now, but it might be a nice feature to have, and I 
think it would answer Peter's needs, too.
