> you can't. It's by default.

defaults can be changed

what is the reasoning to create cruft on users systems and to force users to
look at that cruft, and not just to look at it but also let the cruft obstruct
the work with useful data?

why to create those directories on startup and not only when they are really
needed (possibly warning/asking user about them missing and the creation)?


my usecase is that I use IMAP, I have my inbox/outbox/sent folders on the IMAP
server, I do not use the local ones by default

yet still I want local maildir to serve as an archive, so I add it to kmail
(akonadi) too - but I want to manage the contents of the archive myself, I
really do not want any software to bother me by creating subdirectories that I
do not want to use (or see at all)

btw, what if I switch locale, I'd have another set of directories created? - so
I'll possibly (if I'd use the default folders) get data scattered in different
places just because of different locale, making them inaccessible with another
locale setting?
