directly on the server

via IMAP

than just connect with *whatever* IMAP client from your workstation to 
your account and add it with that but why in the world would anybody 
install a graphical mail cient on a server for just add a folder

if someone needs a mail-client on a server: http://roundcube.net/ whcihs 
*still is using IMAP* and don't touch files and folders on a mailserver 
directly for good reasons

to be honest: the better question is why not throw away kmail at all if 
it is lacking such basic functionality? the last time i tried using it 
on a livecd it displayed mails multiple times and unlickly by remove the 
appearant copies it killed also the real messages

> If I simply add a folder to ~/Maildir/ on my server
> it does not appear in KMail on my laptop

hence i said: "don't mangle around on the server"
