The .directory is where the sub folders are.

E.g. if you have a mail folder structure like the following in KMail

Mailinglists
    kdepim-users

Then on the file system this looks like this

Mailinglists
Mailinglists/cur
.Mailinglists.directory
.Mailinglists.directory.kdepim-users
.Mailinglists.directory.kdepim-users/cur

The "cur" directories is where each folders email is.

In your case I am not totally sure where that .local-mail directory comes 
from, here it is called local-mail (without the leading dot).

Cheers,
Kevin
