The rebuild server is now almost complete. Dovecot is running, and I can telnet and log in. In kmail on this workstation I have created an imap account, for which Inbox was created. I also created Trash and sent-mail as top-level folders, and they display correctly with the cur, new and tmp sub-folders on the server. I now want to create subfolders of Inbox, and there I'm coming unstuck.

I have no idea why I was not allowed to create the folders yesterday, but this morning I can create them. The server has not been rebooted, though the workstation has.
