As far as I can see, KMail's maildir format (with folders ~/Mail/inbox/cur , etc) is incompatible with Dovecot's IMAP format (with folders ~/Mail/.inbox/cur). I mean that if one runs an IMAP server then the directories must be in Dovecot's format, in which case they cannot be accessed by kmail running on the server with a standard Local Account. If that is indeed the case, it seems surprising that kmail documentation seems to contain no warning of this. On the other hand, if I am wrong, I would be very grateful if someone could explain how to combine kmail + dovecot IMAP.
