Interesting - it doesn't exist on my Mandriva laptop, but you are correct in 
that it's there on the Fedora netbook, and set as you quoted.

Like many people, when I'm tired I do silly things, so I never take offence at 
help, and always appreciate it.

In this case it seems that the 'problem' is actually a feature which I had not 
understood.  Apparently, if an Inbox is expanded to show sub-folders it is 
assume that you want to work with it, so it asks for a password if you don't 
save it.  If you cancel the password it collapses that inbox tree so you only 
get the one you want to use (in my case it is a local IMAP from my own server 
or a remote IMAP, still from my own server but when I am away from the LAN).  
Neat, really, but I think this is a new feature in kmail 1.11.
