	I have created another new linux user and chnged its KDE language to 
English. Now. Newly7 created IMAP folders are named on english now: Contacts, 
Calendar and so on.
	As I understand, I can simply rename my existing folders in existing IMAP 
accound and it would work.
	Now the question: what names should the contacts folders have (according 
to Kolab standards): static fixen english-language names or localized? Or it 
does not matter? What does Kolab format says on it?
	Best regards,
	Pavel.
