Looking for a daily mailcheck on one of my accounts I am thinking of running cron. Read the man page of cron, crontab and are as ever after reading man pages, totally confused.

It is very simple really.
But notice you can not start kmail from cron: in fact, you can not run any graphic program from cron, because it has no-where to display. Cron tasks usually send you an email with the output, or write to a file, or something like that. You can not interact with them, they don't display anything.
DISPLAY=:0.0 && command_here But that doesn't really address his ACTUAL problem
If you really want to fetch mail from cron, you have to use "fetchmail" instead of kmail.
