than just connect with *whatever* IMAP client from your workstation to
your account and add it with that but why in the world would anybody
install a graphical mail cient on a server for just add a folder
if someone needs a mail-client on a server: http://roundcube.net/ whcihs
*still is using IMAP* and don't touch files and folders on a mailserver
directly for good reasons
to be honest: the better question is why not throw away kmail at all if
it is lacking such basic functionality? the last time i tried using it
on a livecd it displayed mails multiple times and unlickly by remove the
appearant copies it killed also the real messages

hence i said: "don't mangle around on the server"
