--- Comment #9 from Martin Steigerwald <Martin at Lichtvoll.de> ---
Thank you Denis for taking care to close old bugs. However this one still
happens. As this is still quite concise I do not see much sense in opening
another one about the same issue.

I tested it by starting KMail 5.2.3 with empty home directory. This is what I
get:

while ~/.local/share/local-mail appears to be empty, except cur, new and tmp
directories.

So while there is a change as it uses the name of the maildir resource and not
"local-mail" anymore, it still has that reference to an absolute path instead
of using something relative to $HOME or the suitable XDG directory.

At least it seems to store an absolute path just once for each resource and not
once for every folder or item as I verified with PimItemTable.
