Another addendum:

I went through

https://userbase.kde.org/KMail/FAQs_Hints_and_Tips/en#Local_Folders_is_added_over_and_over

but all the settings in akonadiconsole and specialmailcollectionsrc have been already correct and I had to change nothing.

The only difference I notices was that specialmailcollectionsrc and akonadiconsole showed

DefaultResourceId=akonadi_mixedmaildir_resource_1

whereas the FAQ mentions a name like

DefaultResourceId=akonadi_maildir_resource_0

(not sure where the *mixed* comes from in my system).

But that should still be ok, since the resource name matches in specialmailcollectionsrc and akonadiconsole, both have the *mixed*.

Kind regards

Rainer
