What kind of mail protocol do you use? POP3 or IMAP? Only with POP3 or 
disconnected IMAP mails are also kept locally. The database is just a 
cache for the mail. There has been a long blog entry about how what data 
Akonadi stores. Ah, there we go:

Please read and try to understand that first and then detail your setup in 
case you still think that your mail should be in local-mail.

Thanks,
