- When I set it up in Kmail giving my username and password from /etc/passwd (i.e. my credentials on the server), I get (in danish): "Could not log in, username or password most likely wrong..)
Which IMAP server do you use (Courier, Cyrus, UWash)? AFAIK all of them may be configured using different authentification backends, like /etc/passwd, RDMS, LDAP, ... Did you configure yours to use /etc/passwd? BTW: I am using kmail to connect to an IMAP server and it is working perfecty, so I think it is a configuration problem and not a kmail bug.
