Not really sure what I'm looking for, or where to look for it, Kevin.
Akonadiconsole seems to have many tabs, almost all of them totally
empty.  The Raw socket says "* OK Akonadi Almost IMAP Server [PROTOCOL
28] ".

Actually, as I dig deeper, there is something very strange here.  My
search would not have found the message I wanted, because the mail
folder in question is not listed.  When I looked at the properties I
found that I was offered the top-level Maildir directory, cur, new,
tmp and Inbox.Family.  I have no idea why Inbox.Family is different
from any other subdirectory, but even that isn't enough.  Going back
to reading mail, I realise that I'm really only seeing Inbox/cur - not
even Family.  There is no possibility in the resource setup for
connecting to the sub-folder I really need,
/mnt/Data3/anne/Maildir/Inbox.Archives.
