It is. KMail creates some hidden index files and might use different folder names for Inbox, Sent, etc. than you configured for your mutt setup. It even recognizes the Status: header and shows mails you already read in mutt as "not new". A bigger problem is that KMail handles subfolders differently. While you create a subdirectory in mutt, KMail creates a directory called `.<parent folder>.directory'. <parent folder> is still a normal mbox folder, so you can store mails in it and it's subfolders located in the created hidden directory. KMail doesn't show "normal" directories in ~/Mail/ at all. Bjoern
