I've been using kmail+dovecot for around 3 years now and never seen this ghost 
folder, so presumably there is some other influence at work.

Index files do get recreated automatically in kmail - but I thought Gary said 
that uidvalidity is listed among kmail folders?  Index files are not listed 
among folders.  

Gary - what have you done in the way of trying to locate this folder?  Have 
you looked anywhere other than maildir?  'uidvalidity' sounds to me as though 
it might belong to an authentication scheme?
