[SLE] Kmail and read-only folders


Kmail has recently crashed on me, and after I restarted it, some of my
disconnected imap folders are reported as read-only.
My setup is the following:
on the mail server itself, I use a .procmail file to sort mail into several
folders.
I have then kmail running on my laptop, using the dimap protocol, to
download these folders.

I do not understand what "read-only" means in this context. On the server
itself, all files are readable by me (and some of the folders are still
read-write, so it doesn't appear to be a general problem with the directory
itself). Locally, I have done a chmod -R u+w ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail,
so there as well all files are writable.

Any hint as to how to fix that ?

Thanks in advance

regards
Emmanuel
