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. Thanks.
