Well, it should show up. Maybe after a restart of KMail / Akonadi?

Usually such a resource got created when setting up a POP3 account so 
the POP3 resource would have a place to store the mails into.

Akonadi would then retrieve mails from POP3, cache them for a while, 
store them into maildir or mixedmaildir resource and when the user likes 
to read them retrieve them from the maildir or mixedmaildir resource.

As written before: I believe on creating a new folder within a 
mixedmaildir resource it would ask whether to use maildir or mbox. 
However, it has been ages since I last used that.
