Yes, this is explaining it.

I deleted the mbox files and kmail created new directories in maildir format. 
There are no problems.

I got another solution meanwhile: After creating the maildir directories as 
described above, I created  a new local postbox for receiving my mails. Then 
I read the files ("trash" and so on) and pushed the required drafts manually 
in folder ~/Mail/drafts. No problems.

Yes, you can safely close this bug. I am happy, we got not only a solution, 
but a reason for this behaviour as well. 

Thank you all very much for your help. This is a good example, why I like 
linux now since many years: There is nothing weired, if something is not 
working, the problem is FAST solved, but people are always are telling, WHY 
it is not working and giving much information. In short words "OPEN" source.

Again: Thank you very much !
