Thanks for the reply - it "sort of" cleared the fog. I can not remove 
"Local Folders" or "Akonadi_maildir_resource_3" from Kmail as noted.

the specialmailcollectionsr file contains two lines:
[SpecialCollections]
DefaultResourceId=akonadi_mixedmaildir_resource_0

and I can not install akonadiconsole... it has a dependency on something 
from an earlier SC version.

I can live with this, my main irritations are 2 at this moment:
1. KMail/trash does not get emptied on exit despite being set "Empty 
local Trash on exit".
2. Occasional freezes when something Kontact reports as "conflicts"
on certain mails occur (I only use pop accounts) - have not yet managed 
to figure it out, it happens a few times a day. If I am in KMail and 
catch the message I can choose between "left one" and "right one", any 
answer works. If I am not and take no action for a while KMail 
freezes/hangs. I have a feeling it is related to gmail account but not sure.
