I have no authority to change the imap server unfortunately. I don't think 
that other users have any problems but I'm one of the few if not the only one 
who uses kmail.  I'll try suggesting a change but I'll need to find a better 
reason than that I can't use kmail with it. I think it more likely that I'll 
be encouraged to use another client like thunderbird or evolution, which 
would be a shame because I really do like kmail.
