Thanks again deloptes, I do believe that was it. Does the handbook mention this? Theres a fairly long list that I've not collated over the last 20 years. Most glaring is its inability to go get new mail in the background, which caused me to offload that to fetchmail-procmail and a chain of spam and viri catchers. All synchronized by inotifywait. I used to yell at Ingo K. over some of the more glaring ones till I figured our he was attempting to herd cats. And wasn't that good at it. ;-)
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.
