Ok, I've added cur/tmp/new directories to my Mail directory.  I then deleted 
my .cone directory so that I could start out with a clean slate.  It still 
did the same thing.  Also, referring back to the pic I sent you, you'll 
notice that although ~/Mail was not a proper maildir, Mail/inbox was.  I 
guess when I started kmail for the first time, it created three proper 
maildirs beneath the Mail directory:  Drafts, inbox and trash are all proper 
maildirs.  Is there a way to get cone to see those directories as proper 
maildirs?  Maybe I should just switch to mbox to avoid this headache.
