And, BTW, KURL is the reason why you can't create and use  IMAP folders with 
Cyrillic (or non-Latin) names. KMail , in fact, can *create* such folder, but 
can't access it later because of misformed URL.

Try to create folder name as "пример" ("example" in Russian), and you will see 
the problem. Check my bug report about that:
http://bugs.kde.org/db/43/43889.html

There was similar bug report about Google, Konq wrongly encodes URL from 
Google search if you search for non-Latin word.
Again, open Google and type "пример" in Search box. Than hit Search. You will 
get:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F%3F&btnG=Google+Search
