However I use IMAP only for mail access - not to serve addresses and calendar. If you are serving them, your experience will be different to mine. > I see that in KMail on my laptop, > Folder=>Mailing List Management is greyed-out.

You can only add addresses that are already in your addressbook, but if you start to type a name you should get a dropdown list of autocompleting addresses.

Now you've confused me. Are you not running a mail server on your server? I run dovecot on mine. However, this doesn't really matter, since the distribution list (in the old sense) is purely an addressbook function, now named Groups. If you need any more details on the Groups function, just ask, though there isn't much more to be said.
