I have been using Kmail in the conventional way, i.e. retrieving mail from the three remote servers through the 'Net.
Now I wish instead for fetchmail to do that, and to feed its output to procmail, which will perform some filtering operations before making its output available to Kmail
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.
Have you tried Settings > Configure Kmail > Accounts > Receiving (tab) > Add (button) ... ? When you do, Kmail gives you two different local options - "Local mailbox" and "Maildir mailbox" ... -- " '... but there is so much else behind what I say.
