I think for new installations it will always be 
$HOME/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail (Since KDE 3.4 if I remember correctly)

$HOME/Mail is it when user accounts have existed before. KMail detects this on 
upgrades and uses the old location.

$HOME/.Mail is it only for some older versions of Mandrake. Unfortunately 
Mandrake decided to patch their KMail rather than use the respective 
configuration option [1].
This was "fun" when their users upgraded, but I think there is probably no 
such installation left anywhere where it concerns the audience of the 
article.


[1] Option "folders" in group "General" in KMail's config kmailrc. Usually 
empty, Upgraded older installtions (those with $HOME/Mail) will have it set

% kreadconfig --file kmailrc --group General --key folders

Actually all $HOME/.kde references above are subject to KDE environment 
variables. See http://techbase.kde.org/SysAdmin

Cheers,
Kevin
