Hmmm... Before this issue arose, I moved all mails in KMail to the default 
local folders. It says it stores the mails in .local/share/
akonadi_maildir_resource_0/, but it's empty. On the other hand, ~/file\:/home/
vojta/.local/share/ does contain .akonadi_maildir_resource_0 and it has 12 G. 
:-) So it'll obviously require some juggling. :-)
Thanks for clarification,
V.
