Sorry. Misleading writing. I just want to suggest that the default locking
for local mbox is FCNTL and not procmail lockfile. And policy supports
that.
About my assumption: Well, exim is the debian 'default' and eximconfig
does not allow to switch from mbox to maildir. So kmails default /var/spool/mail
if(!) a local mbox is added is a good one.
About the assumption: People hacking exim.conf or the one
explicitely chosing to use another MTA with a different local storage
mechanism are also able to choose a looking method ;)

To me vi is Zen. To use vi is to practice zen. Every command is
a koan. Profound to the user, unintelligible to the uninitiated.
You discover truth everytime you use it.
