[Bug 94412] Expire folders from file menu does not work with IMAP

[Rob Hughes]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdepim

KMail Version 1.9.6/KDE 3.5.6/Feisty connecting to IMAP server. All
folders except inbox have been individually marked as  expire read mails
after 30 days and expire unread mails after 30 days, with permanently
delete as the action. These folders are not subfolders of the inbox, but
separate IMAP folders. I then select expire all folders from the file
menu, however, few, if any, mails will be deleted. As a sanity check, I
run evolution with a virtual folder set to find all mail over 30 days
old, and > 1000 emails will show up in the virtual folder. I would think
that if kmail properly expired the folders, many fewer emails should be
found. If I then go folder by folder and refresh each folders contents,
and expire each folder individually, this works. But with a few dozen
folders, this is a somewhat onerous task, just to do house cleaning on
my mailbox.
