I *think* his question is slightly different. Some email clients support
making pop3 into a pseudo-imap by not deleting emails off the pop server at
first (i.e., the config option you pointed him to), until you delete the
email locally (i.e., after filtering, reading, etc.). So, in case that was
the question, no, KMail does not support that. If you want to have multiple
client access your account, use imap :-)
