I'm guessing you're setting up POP3 mail accounts? Are you able to use 
IMAP4 as a message retrieval protocol? This does bring in the folder 
structure of the remote mail system, whereas POP3 does not. If POP3 is 
the only protocol available to you, you can set up each identity to 
copy sent mail to separate locations within local folders. Not exactly 
what you want, but probably as close as you can manage with Kmail. 
Using POP3 makes your mail 'local' as it is downloading the mail 
(normally deleting from the server, although this can be specified not 
to do this also) to your client, whereas IMAP4 does not do this (by 
default; you can specify to cache the mail locally). I guess this is 
the reason why POP3 mail accounts automatically go to the local folders 
area.

Nope - TBird will not integrate into Kontact. Kmail is the mailer part 
of Kontact.

I know Will, the Kontact/Kmail maintainer, monitors this list so maybe 
he'll jump in with further information.
