I have 1.2 gig over 80 folders in my IMAP account.  That's not counting shared 
folders.

I trust I can find instructions on how to do that somewhere.  It doesn't look 
like you've had time to post those instructions on the wiki page.

Ok, that first statement was a bit overdone.  The program crashes when it 
starts the sync process with the IMAP server.  Since I stupidly set that to 
happen at startup, it crashes almost right away.  If I can stop the sync at 
startup, then I might be able to try rebuilding the index on the folders.

Thanks to you and everyone who is working on the windows port.  Although my 
main desktop machines at home and work run Kubuntu/KDE/Kontact in conjunction 
with my Kolab server, I still have a few laptops and users on Windows that 
have traditionally been cut off from the calendar & contact portions of my data 
without jumping though major hoops.
