Hey man, Kmail has something for grabbing Email for you, and that's what you 
should use if you want to use Kmail. When you use Fetchmail it takes all the 
mail and makes it local, so to check it you'll want to use either Pine, or 
Mutt. Mainly mutt. 

I have my boxes set up with fetchmail too and Mutt is what I use for email 
without problems.

I do have Kmail which is what I'm using now because some email I recieve 
requires a GUI client, and you should set up Kmail to fetch the email itself 
to avoid this problem.

Just type mutt on a console. If it doesn't load, pop in the CDs and open yast 
and tell it to install Mutt.
