IMAP-server, kmail (or who/whatever is doing it...) will not look in any subdirectories but only check the inbox on the server. Same thing with POP, which I am using - so actually I am only guessing ;)

Hi Sven!

Sorry, you are not right. Kmail is a full featured IMAPv4 client which is fully able to scan for all IMAP folders and check their status, too. I use kmail everyday with an server-side filtering IMAP server.

The only possibility that mails in other folders are ignored is, when you set the folder prefix wrong, but then the whole bunch of folders is not recognized, only INBOX.

It's working now, but I didn't use INBOX as folder prefix. I must use nothing (an empty string...) as folder prefix, and then everything works as it should. Thank's for the hints and tips! Greets, Alexander
