I don't think KMail2 still uses the index files. So it's not surprising 
that they have not been recreated. OTOH, it is surprising that the 
copied folder does not appear in KMail.

Next try: Move the copy of the folder (with Konsole) to a separate 
folder. Create a new mbox resource pointing to the copy of the folder.
