Just tried setting up such a mailbox in said directory. Kmail still downloads
into ~/Mail anyway. And reads it too. So I suppose again that you have to
disable the POP mailbox and get mail through fetchmail into
/var/spool/mail/whatever and read it through local. Still there is the problem
om mail folders.
