I have two IMAP accounts, one standard, and one gmail.  I never, never have a 
problem with the standard account.  Occasionally a folder in the gmail 
account gets stuck, and I just take a look at another folder and come back, 
and everything is OK.  When this isn't practical, I just restart kmail.

I understand the problems are not with IMAP but with dIMAP.
