[Dovecot] kmail-error: can't upload folder (imap-account on dovecot-server)

[Christoph Knauer]

Hey,

it's a long time since all your answers, but at least I solved it:
- update to etch-backports with all mail-related programms
- dovecot-config with maildir

After solving some other little problems my dovecot is running onto a 
fritz!box with freetz and debian etch :)

Thanks to all who gave tips ...

Greets, Christoph
