In kmail 1 there was both visible and hidden subdirectories, some of which =
had =

localized names. In kmail 2 ~/Mail (or wereever you store your mail) is a j=
oke =

- it is ALWAYS empty apart from empty cur, new and tmp subdirectories.

Personally, I don't care much what the layout looks like, as long as mail i=
s =

stored where the user thinks, in my case indside ~/Mail, as long as it is j=
ust =

functional inside kmail. This was true until kmail 2, and it should be agai=
n.
