so what? sorry, but i completely miss your point.
As Levi pointed out it *might* be OK if they at least use the same format, but there could still be locking issues.
Now I finally understand what you mean. Independently of the mail folder prefix choosen
for KMail, Kmail fills LOCAL $HOME/Mail with dirs (drafts, trash, etc.) and indexes working files. So you are pointing out that there could be problems in the case LOCAL machine == IMAP SERVER. I wonder why Kmail places its custom working files into $HOME/Mail? IMHO it's not much legal to place there as default (why it doesn't use instead $HOME/.kmail?). Imagine every mail client would do the same (e.g. mozilla, etc.)? For imapd using "Mail" or "mail" would be OK,
because it places only shareable (from point of view of information) "mailboxes" and not working /temporary custom indexes there.
Of course default IMAP mailsubdir could be "mail" instead of "Mail" (no pb. there) but either with this change or not, IMHO Kmail needs its default path (which is not the same as "mail prefix") to be changed too.
