Nothing, just the wiki did not cover completely this case. Let me explain 
the problem: when you first start KMail, it will create the needed folders 
for inbox, trash, outbox, etc. Without those it cannot work. This is the 
"Local Folders" account, apparently it cannot be removed to not shoot 
yourself in the feet by making KMail not workable.
Then you added your own maildir, that is "mail".
There is a somewhat more technical solution to move the special folders 
(inbox, outbox, trash, draft, etc) into your new account and then you can 
remove the other one, but there is also a more user friendly one: remove 
your account then go to the Local Folders account, select Modify and point 
it to the folder where your mails are. It should import them under Local 
Folders.
