Agreed. I had it in KDE3. It was also there in early TDE. But when TDE
changed the hidden folder from .kde to .trinity this problem arose. Hence
Thierry's advice to someone who is migrating upwards from 3.5.11 - and still
has his mails in ~/Mail. I wonder when, who, on which paths wrote the config
change in? I have just followed up both Debian and TDE, and had to do the
migration one way or another for myself - this list helped a lot. Prior to
that I too just copied ~/Mail from one installation to another.
I'll have to search the archive (mine and TDE's) to see if I can find the
correspondence.

Hi Lisi!
$HOME/Mail was definitly the standard on KDE, but it might be further down
the road of history. I recall that last time I used SuSE (2003 I think) it
was definitly there, also up the timeline in debian etch. I'm quite sure of
this as I use kmail since ~ 2003 as my only mail client and carry it's
config and location with me since then (and still some old mails :-) ). But
memory gets lost in the fog of time ... ;-) share/config/kmailrc:folders[$e]=$HOME/Mail
That, or Thierry's, or something similar, is the hack to which I was
referring. Perhaps because you came from KDE4? But it is not standard
to those who came from KDE3 and on up through TDE, which I would say is
the more "standard" route for this list.
The OP was moving on through TDE, so Thierry's advice was pretty good
info, and the fact that you are on a non-standard Wheezy system does not
alter that. But it is interesting that going via several versions of
Ubuntu and KDE4 apparently sorts the problem out. I'd rather do a small
hack manually!
