I have been using Kmail in the conventional way, i.e. retrieving mail from the three remote servers through the 'Net.

The way procmail does this is to deposit its mail into file(s) in a dedicated directory in the user's home directory tree, and this is where kmail should come to pick it up. My question is about how to configure Kmail to do that, rather than retrieving mail as it does now, directly from remote servers, whether configuring from the Account Settings of Kmail, or from manipulating some configuration file of Kmail.
I've asked this question on the KDE-PIM list, which seemed like the most likely place to get answers, but the reaction there has been to change the subject. I have also come up dry from a Google search.

I must have seen that window dozens of times, if not more, and actually "saw" anything past "POP". Thank you for pointing it out. Apparently it has gone over many other heads as well, because in KDE-PIM only one mentioned "Local Mailbox" which I interpreted as meaning the kind of arrangement I was seekting, but not adding anything to how to do it. Local Mailbox is exactly what I want.
