Thanks for that.

I've added Dieter's repo to /etc/yum.repos
and installed 150 or so packages from it,
including kmail.
I haven't quite succeeded at the moment,
as running kmail causes an akonadi test, which fails.
I'm trying to work out why this occurs.

Incidentally, I'm only trying to install kmail on my home server
in order to add top-level folders to kmail on my laptop.
(I know from another server running CentOS-6 that this works.)


But there must be simpler ways of adding a top-level folder,
eg by editing ~/Maildir/subscriptions ?
