make links, if the name of the folder is the same - the name of the
link can be different :-);
I can under kmail use folders in ~/mail, ~/Mail and ~/nsmail without
any problems :-)));
the original kmail folders (created on startup first time) live alone!!!

No, kmail force to take all mail from spool folder. U can try appropriate
links, but it is some complicated. The best way is to sort mail to
different tematical folders before using kmail - try fetchmail & procmail.
Sorted mail U can easy use with kmail :-).

kmail addressbook is very poor :-(, I simply copy addresses to it by
"mouse coping" :-)...
