As I said, I'm not using KMail 2 but I think you are making dubious
assumptions.  I can't see why a folder type would be "KMail Maildir" yet
hold mbox files - it just doesn't seem logical to me.  In any case,
KMail always did read mbox files, as you say, but it sounds to me as
though you are selecting the wrong type of resource.

In Akonadi Configuration you can add a resource of the type Mbox - the
description says "Loads data from a local mbox file".  I would have
thought that if your messages are in mbox files you would need to use
that resource and point it to your mail.
