The default for KDE < 3.4 has been ~/Mail
If one upgrades to 3.4 or later and ~/Mail is already in use, KMail will 
continue to use it.
If it is a fresh install, it will use the path mentioned by Dennis.

AFAIK it can still be configured through the KMail configuration file (not in 
the GUI)

That assumes an unpatched KMail, Mandrake has patched theirs to point to 
~/.Mail instead of using the configuration key for an unknown reason.

Cheers,
Kevin
