Unfortunately I don't know, IMAP being the area of KMail that I know

better IMAP servers out there, so what works for cyrus won't 
necessarily work for other servers.

OK. I follow your design choice with interest, for virtual folders I 
need to apply virtual folder filters to all discovered mail whether 
local, pop or imap.
