It is just named "KMail Folders" - it is of course a Maildir resource.

I have indexing / searching working now, but is was very spooky to get 
there... What I did:

I drag&drop'ped all folders from "KMail Folders" to "Local Folders" (my idea 
was to remove "KMail Folders" afterwards, thinking it was some kind of 
'remnant' from upgrades). For a while it looked like it worked - all the 
folders/messages appeared in "Local Folders" - even indexed !

But than, folders started to reappear in "KMail Folders". After a while I had 
all my emails twice (checked this via 'ls' in ~/Mail/ and ~/.local/share/
local-mail/). After another while all folder from "Local Folders" where 
gone... At least my emails are indexed now and searching works.
But I really transpired while fearing about my emails :-)

After moving the folders, the filter directories (I have ~120 filters) 
automatically changed to the new "Local Folder" directory. Pretty cool, I 
thought. Now that all folders where automagically moved back, the filter 
directories are at "Please select a folder".... nice stupid work for the 
afternoon to select 120 directories one by one.

I will have the same issue at home, on my second Sid installation. But now I 
know how to get indexing working - and I just have ~15 filters to work on :-)

Thanks for all your great hints & help and for your patience & time !

Regards, Tim
