It was created by akonadi when I assigned it I believe. Prior to starting 
kmail2 it looked just like it does now:

[anders at katja ~]$ ls -a ~/Mail
./  ../  cur/  new/  tmp/

local folders
- outbox
- sent-mail
-  trash
- drafts
- templates
- inbox 
- KDE
- - Digikam
- - ...
- OSM
etc

Didn't think of that, I thought it should be stored where configured. Kmail 
stored it in ~/Mail, which I renamed to start from scratsc. But there it is. 
Should I file a bug report about it not being stored where configured?
