Not a bad idea. If no IMAP accounts were made, it should be reasonably sa=

try out the kroupware branch KMail. But IMAP as used KMail to have it is=20

Actually what we want to do is to expand the cached IMAP so one can speci=

(old behaviour), sometimes cache (depending on size etc.).

But when trying out a development branch of a mail client one should obvi=

back up everything before giving it a try. Backing up KMail means the=20
directories ~/Mail and ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/imap and the file=20
~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc.
