Location of POP emails

Hi

I'm trying to locate where my emails are held.
  
I've read http://blogs.kde.org/node/4503 ( Akonadi misconception #1: where is 
my data?) and it states the following "In case of POP3, the mails is stored 
immediately after download in a local maildir folder. The actual place of the 
folder depends on your configuration, it can be just as $HOME/Mail, as 
$HOME/kde./share/apps/kmail/ or $HOME/.local/share/.local-mail (for new 
installations)."
It also says "To make it clear from the beginning: the Akonadi database is NOT 
your MAIN data storage.  Even if it gets destroyed, removed, your data is 
still safe."

On my opensuse 12.3 Kde/Kmail 4.10.4 system I have the following situation

1.  $HOME/Mail - Does not exist
2.  $HOME/kde./share/apps/kmail/ - I actually have 	
$HOME/.kde4/share/apps/kmail2/ which only has an "autosave" folder, "rc" files 
and a lock file
3.  $HOME/.local/share/.local-mail - I have "$HOME/.local/share/local-mail/" 
with 3 empty folders, "cur", "tmp" & "new".  This "$HOME/.local/share/" also 
has an "akonadi" folder with various "db" folders.

Thie blog is dates 13 Nov 2011 so i guess it may be really old information.

Any ideas?

regards

Ian
