I have been living with this bug for years, but I have avoided it by
simply copying complete config files (?mail*rc from one context to
another over several distro releases and several kde versions.

Just today, I needed to set up a new account on a KUbuntu Karmic and a
SUSE 11.2 (that is, brand new) clients.  That meant I had no config
files to copy, and had to do it the "proper" way. Bugger me, but the
sodding bug is still there, well over two years since it was first
reported, and the same manual fix I reported years ago is still the only
way to sort it.

I do fix bugs in open source software.  (I even had two lines of code in
the kernel for a while, back in the 2.4 days. :)  However, I know that
there is a hell of a long lead time to get into a new project.  This
seems to be such a trivial problem that someone who is up to speed
should be able to sort it with a few minutes' work, whereas I would need
a while to track down the source of the problem a while sort it, and
then weeks of endless hassle to get my fix accepted into the main source
tree: so I am just not going down that route!
