kmail cannot use mail spooled via /var/spool/mail/$USER


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure e.g. postfix, eithe rlocal or procmail delivery agent
2. Try to add mailbox account
3. Send mail to $USER@localhost
Actual Results:  
Mail is properly delivered to /var/spool/mail/$USER. Good.

KMail creates an extra folder named <whatever you selected>. Useless.

Have to e.g. add an extra filter to move incoming mail in /var/spool/mail/$USER
to inbox. Bad. Extra work.

Mail removed in this new useless folder always reappears. So I cannot remove
mail from /var/spool/mail/$USER.



Expected Results:  
As kmail1 does it. As all MUAs that I know do it.

Offer a menu entry when adding an account that easily allows me to retrieve
mail via /var/spool/mail/$USER with a selection of lockings used by e.g.
postfix local or procmail. Retrieve all mail from /var/spool/mail/$USER and
directly move it to inbox, not copying it to inbox.



This behaviour of kmail makes openSUSE 12.1 together with kmail totally
unusable in very many installations.
