Blind guess - I understand that KMail 2 no longer distinguishes between
dIMAP and normal IMAP.  I wonder if the "KMail Maildir" resource type is
actually the "mixed mail" resource that I've heard mentioned several
times.  If I understand it correctly, "mixed mail" is the combination of
IMAP and dIMAP mail - again with the caveat that this is my impression,
not gospel truth.
