Re: Folder identities [SOLVED]

I finally solved this problem, and am posting the solution in case anyone else 
ever encounters it.

Turns out that the problem resulted from the fact that my 3 accounts are 
google hosted.  I was using the same SMTP for all 3 identities.  Once I 
changed the SMTP for the other two to the corresponding google apps address, 
rather than the default gmail smtp, the folders now stick.

From a diagnosis standpoint, I think this is strange.  I don't know what kmail 
does that the prior setting would confuse it, but changing the sMTP fixed it.  

Thanks to all who offered input to fix this.
