Added a folder with odd name, then did search for  that name in ~/.

Name appeared in ~/.mail.directory,  which somehow Kmail was somehow 
regarding as ~/mail!

Renamed ~/mail to ~/.mail.directory and Kmail soon picked that up and 
eventually displayed all the missing subfolders and contents!

$64: 
Why did Kmail suddenly decide to change to ~/.mail.directory instead 
of ~./mail (despite it still declaring under /Configure/Local Folders 
that 
the maildir files were in ~/mail)?
