Just as a matter of convenience, you could also do this with a procmail
"recipe". I use spamassassin to deal with spam and I also use this
program called unison to sync mailboxes. I have a procmail recipe which
says after a whole bunch of stuff gets done, put the remaining mail in
my Inbox. The Inbox is located at /home/mperry/mail so I don't have to
leave anything running to get the job done. This also makes it a lot
easier to sync my mailboxes.
I don't use kmail here. Never have. But I have shared mailboxes with
other mail programs.
