Same setup, same behaviour, but if i have a look into the directories on
the server, the size is as expected. And the numbers are different,
like:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/Maildir> du .linux.kernel/
36 .linux.kernel/cur
0 .linux.kernel/new
0 .linux.kernel/tmp
2404 .linux.kernel/
In KMail: Folder linux/kernel: 158.6MB
