This has been solved with some KMail options juggling: It's helpful to
delete and re-set the marker at Workgroups - IMAP functions.

How are others handling that?

Another question: Disconnected IMAP will store mails locally and
synchronize. This will use up storage locally, of course; which IMAP
will not. Does someone use disconnected IMAP only for groupware folders,
and IMAP for the rest - if so, how? Two 'accounts' in kontact, perhaps;
disc. IMAP with groupware folders hidden?
