Due to my traumatic experience with kdepim 4.6, I did a lot of preparation =

the hope to achieve my goal:

Running kmail2 with mail stored in ~/Mail (a visible place that anyone can =
see =

and understand!)

* I archieved each level 1 folder using kmail (kmail1)
* I renamed ~/Mail to get it out of the way, serving both as extra backup a=

to start over, since the directory was in a bad shape after my last attempt =

with kmail2
* I made the akonadi maildir resource point to ~/Mail, which created a =

structure
~/Mail/
	/cur
	/new
	/tmp
Akonadi accepted that.

Starting kmail2 went fine (apart from partially broken migration, but I hav=

added all configuration I want). My first action was to add my mail account=
s and =

check mails, and that worked flawless (no filters or anything at that point)

The conclusion is that akonadi was left to do what it wanted, given a path =
of =

~/Mail, and it obviously wanted to store the mail outside that, in =

~/.Mail.directory.
