What KPilot does is  
 
                if (!dcopptr->call("kmail", 
                        "KMailIface", 
                        "dcopAddMessage(QString,QString)", 
                        data, 
                        returnType, 
                        returnValue, 
                        true)) 
 
where data is created with  
 
	arg << kmailOutboxName << t.name(); 
 
(t is the tempfile name containing the message from the Pilot). Finally, KPilot determines the 
name of KMail's outbox folder with 
 
QString PopMailConduit::getKMailOutbox() const 
{ 
        FUNCTIONSETUP; 
        // Read-only config file. This is code 
        // suggested by Don Sanders. It must be 
        // kept up-to-date with what KMail does. 
        // 
        // TODO: Completely broken since KMail disposed of this 
        // setting in KDE 3.0. No idea how to fix short of i18n("outbox"). 
        KSimpleConfig c(CSL1("kmailrc"),true); 
        c.setGroup("General"); 
 
        QString outbox = c.readEntry("outboxFolder"); 
        if (outbox.isEmpty()) 
        { 
                KConfigGroupSaver gs(fConfig,PopmailConduitFactory::group); 
                outbox = fConfig->readEntry("outboxFolder"); 
        } 
        return outbox; 
} 
 
 
and, as the comment shows, there's no way to discover the outbox name in KMail anymore. 
The immediate fix in KPilot is to disable sending through KMail. However, the fact remains that 
using an empty folder name in the  dcopAddMessage call apparently causes damage to KMail.
