Quite possibly it will work, but it would probably be better to get
things "normalised" by deleting the account setup and re-doing it. It's
all IMAP really, so all your mail is on the server so everything will

I doubt it will work. KDE will not know about populating the accounts
in Evolution. As Patrick says, you can run the Gnome equivalent
manually.
