RE[5]: As a KDE User

It happened when I moved from Mandrake 9.2 to 10.0.
How would you interpret that?

The interpretion of that is rather easy. It's not a KMail issue at all, it's a well known Mandrake issue. When the maildir spec was finalized and KMail got support for it implemented, Mandrake choose to patch Kmail to not to follow it. They choose to use .mail as directory for mail rather than Mail(or mail) as the spec says(In my opinion much more correct, hiding the maildatabase rather than polute the home dir). Sadly the patches from Mandrake did create some migration issues not present in the unmodified KMail.
