Perhaps you'd better convert from mbox to maildir.
From the KMail FAQ [1]:

    6.7. Can I use KMail together with a different email client, e.g. mutt?

    If you're using the mbox format for your folders it is not possible
    to use a different email client while KMail is running. With mutt
    there may also be problems even if both programs are not running at
    the same time. We recommend to use the maildir format in this case,
    this should solve all problems.

HTH.
