I have seen that as well. It seems to be the new default to use the name of 
the resource. But I also prefer the old move descriptive name.

If you rename it while the maildir resource is running, the maildir resource 
may get confused as it has inotify watches… but on the other hand, these are 
on *inodes* so they should survive the rename.

But I think you can do it offline as well, like in:

- stop kmail
- akonadictl stop
- make sure database process is gone
- edit path in ~/.config/akonadi_maildir_resource_0rc
- mv ~/.local/share/akonadi_maildir_resource_0 ~/.local/share/local-mail
- start kmail

And in any case: Make a backup first :)

Thanks,
