I solved with akonadi console. From there I first managed to rename the maildir 
to a proper name (rather than akonadi_bla_bla_bla). Then I created a new 
subdir called "inbox". Once I had the my_new_maildir/inbox subfolder, I went 
back to KMail, and this time I could choose my_new_maildir/inbox as the 
destination folder. 

I tested and it fetches emails from pop3 server, and puts them in the specified 
destination folder. True it works, but it was quite an endeavor for such a 
simple thing!

There are still some things that don't work, but will update you on these 
later on.
