... unless they already exist. So if you don't want the standard folders 
to be maildir then do the following before starting KMail/Kontact for 
the first time:
mkdir ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail
mkdir ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail
touch ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail/{inbox,outbox,drafts,sent-mail,trash}

The touch command will create empty files and KMail will then consider 
them as empty mbox folders.

Ingo
