Hi,

you can't remove "Local Folders" account, as it will be automatically added 
after next Akonadi start.

I'm not sure I understand it correctly (/me never used mbox), but shouldn't 
the configuration point to an actual file? /var/spool/mail/tim/ does not look 
like an MBox file to me :-))

Cheers,
Dan
