Re: horrible experience creating a new IMAP account

Forgot some idiotic issues: 

When the kmail/akonadi account settings dialog is OKed, the account lists in 
kmail like this: "no server configured yet".

No folder is added to the kmail folder list, which is what I expect.

I'm closing in on kmail not being usable for my re	quirements, once again, and 
I find it really, really unacceptable.
