Just to make sure that you are looking in the right place with the right 
settings: Files and directories with a name starting with a dot are 
hidden by default in Unix-like OSes. You need to enable "Show hidden 
files" in Dolphin (or whatever file manager you use) in order to see the 
.mailing-lists.directory directory. On the command line you have to use 
the '-a' option as in 'ls -la' to make ls list hidden files.
