As I said, I don't use gmail's imap - my mail is forwarded to another account - so I'm not familiar with the look of KMail when using gmail imap. So, here come the questions, as I try to interpret what I'm seeing. At the top of your list I see what appears to be the account name, and under that is an Inbox. Is that inbox not part of the Gmail setup? Then, directly under that (and at the same branch-level) there is the [Gmail] account, with a greyed-out (virtual?) folder and a set of sub-folders as I'd expect to see. How did that folder and its structure get created? Is it possible that it's the [ and ] in the name that's causing the problem? What about those other folders, such as TehranLug - do they come in from a different account? The normal structure in KMail is for one top-level Inbox and everything else to be subfolders of that, whereas you have many top-level folders, it seems. > anyway, I disabled "include this folder when checking for new mail" and > "Act on new/unread mail in this folder" in [Gmail] folder's properties > (see the above link) and now I don't get the error anymore , but I think > should would be another way for fixing this problem instead of completely > preventing kmail from using the folder! :P > Yes, there has to be a way of sorting this, because I know that some people do use it. Unfortunately, many people are still away due to holiday family visits, so responses may be slower than usual, so I'll help all I can. Meanwhile, you were right to remove the Gmail folder from the automatic actions, but enable it in manual checks, so that you can see whether any changes you make have the right effect. That error message is niggling me - The server replied: Unknown Mailbox: [Gmail] . It sounds as though gmail is getting that as your username?
