That doesn't work for me. In my case the parent of Inbox is "grover", the name of the dovecot server (running CentOS-6.2). If I right-click on grover, I am offered a menu of options, but these do not include "New subfolder" (even greyed out). The ones that are not greyed out are: Update folder and its subfolders [I tried that] Find Messages Copy Folder to Archive Folder Assign Shortcut Folder Properties Manage Local Subscriptions If instead I left-click on File in the top bar (while highlighting "grover") Add Folder is greyed out. If I hightlight Inbox, for example, File=>Add Folder is not greyed out, but if I add a folder here it is a sub-folder of Inbox. > Fedora 6 is kind of old, but IIRC this also worked on KDE 3. Sorry, that was a typo for Fedora-16. ------------------------ [tim at blanche ~]$ kmail --version Qt: 4.8.0 KDE Development Platform: 4.8.00 (4.8.0 KMail: 4.8.0 ------------------------ -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin
