Glad to could have helped. I was going through the translations of TDEPIM
and saw the string - connected this string to your issue, I thought this is
it and located it in the config menu.
I use KMail as primary mail client at home. I use it in Kontact. I have my
old mail from university time in a maildir. Everything else is an IMAP. I
think your process is complicated perhaps because of historic reasons and
could be simplified. But this is my opinion. I like simple and clean
solutions, because they are truly genius.
