In kmail 1 there was both visible and hidden subdirectories, some of which had 
localized names. In kmail 2 ~/Mail (or wereever you store your mail) is a joke 
- it is ALWAYS empty apart from empty cur, new and tmp subdirectories.

Personally, I don't care much what the layout looks like, as long as mail is 
stored where the user thinks, in my case indside ~/Mail, as long as it is just 
functional inside kmail. This was true until kmail 2, and it should be again.
