Go to your kmailrc file in $HOME/.kde/share/config Look up the folder with your ReadOnly problem, most likely the ReadOnly flag has been set to true, change it false..
You are my new hero, that worked :-) A summary for the archives: It sometimes happens after a crash that kmail leaves some folders as read-only. In my case, I think what happened is the following: - kmail crashed, and cut the imap connection. That terminates the imap server, which left some locks (NFS locks) on the files on the server - When restarted, kmail detected the read-only status of the remote files, and set its config file accordingly. - Even after fixing the NFS lock issue on the server, kmail had its config set to read-only. The only solution is to kill kmail, edit the file ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc and replace all ReadOnly=true lines with ReadOnly=false, and then restart kmail. Thanks to all who helped Emmanuel
