Dunno why it would be necessary. TBird doesn't have an easy way to lose the 'Local Folders' - maybe kmail has something similar that you are referring to? I just keep those collapsed and ignore them.
There appear to be several default folders with kmail, namely inbox, outbox, sent-mail, wastebin, draughts, templates .
since eg sent mail goes to ~/Maildir/sent-mail/cur/ . I didn't find any kmail setting to change this.
??? 'Special' folders are definable by the client - in TBird, I always use 'Sent', 'Drafts', 'Templates' and 'Trash' (these are the defaults too).
Maybe kmail is different ...
I still think you are missing something about how IMAP works...
What exactly?
