Perhaps the gmail stuff is off target. But I think you will not be happy
just sharing the kmail directories. I do not know if kmail does any
locking, or if that locking works over, say, NFS. Two programs accessing
(or just having open) the mail at the same time could be a disaster.

This is why it is better to use IMAP. It is designed specifically for
sharing mail folders. I also use it so my e-mail is stored independent
of the mail-program-of-the-day. I can easily switch to another reader if
it supports IMAP. Most do.

procmail is worth investigating. There are lots of docs and recipes. The
syntax can be very simple if you don't need anything too fancy.
