Dunno why it would be necessary. TBird doesn't have an easy way to lose
the 'Local Folders' - maybe kmail has something similar that you are
referring to? I just keep those collapsed and ignore them.
since eg sent mail goes to ~/Maildir/sent-mail/cur/ .
I didn't find any kmail setting to change this.

'Special' folders are definable by the client - in TBird, I always use
'Sent', 'Drafts', 'Templates' and 'Trash' (these are the defaults too).
Also, I assume it is sensible to leave the trash folder on the local
machine.
Sensible? No... but it is a personal preference...
I keep the Trash expiration (a TBird setting, not a server-side setting)
separate from the defaults, set to delete messages older than 30 days -
and I like having the trash on the IMAP server, but that is a personal
preference.
I still think you are missing something about how IMAP works...
