If I delete the mail via kmail, the mail gets the "T" flag, but the 
mail-file remains there and the other kmail shows the mail 
(strange?). If I afterwards open the mailfolder via e.g. 
squirrelmail, the mail-file gets deleted, and it vanishes from the 
kmail list, if I refresh the view in kmail.

The difference is, that squirrelmail does a login/logout every time it 
looks for mails. kmail stays logged in.

Is this a bug in kmail not to expunge the mail-file? If I manually 
remove the mail-file, kmail is fine!
