Hi,

Not sure it answers your question, but I belive that's how kmail behaves when 
there are subdirectories, I'll explain :
Almost all my mail folders (e.g. "newMail" or "inNewUbu"don't have 
subdirectories but the 3 cur, new and tmp, (I will call those trivial 
subdirectories)

The exception is the folder "V-Old" which contains sub folders "VeryOld" and 
"lessOld" which in turn contain sub folders.
There I have a .V-Old.directory containing empty cur, new and tmp as well as a 
.VeryOld.directory and a .lessOld.directory subdirectory (themselves 
containing non trivial subdirectories and and other *.directory).
It is only when I reach the last branch of the non trivial subdirectories that 
I find populated leaves of cur, new and tmp.

Could you check that your inbox,sent-mail, trash and whatever are directly 
under local-mail and not enclosed in another intremediary directory ?
