I've already encountered the issue which you describe, i.e. that after moving 
mails from IMAP into local folders, no file is created in the directory for 
that folder. I've tried copying instead of moving, but that doesn't work 
either (unlike in older KDE PIM software).

Is there any way of forcing mails in the Akonadi database to be written to 
local folder disk directories? It really isn't satisfactory for them to only 
exist in the database.
