I'm posting this to the list because it's kind of difficult to describe, and 
there will probably be requests for more info.

What happened is the following:

I had fetchmail setup and was using local mail checking fine in kmail.

I disabled sendmail, therefore closing my ability to receive smtp - stopped 
using fetchmail for a while and used kmail to check my pop messages.  I left 
the other account there, since it wasn't hurting kmail to check an empty file 
every time I checked my mail.

I fired up kmail today, and started the check mail process.  My pop server is 
really slow, so I decided to fix my fetchmail problem ;).  I hit the x button 
in the kmail status bar to cancel the mail retrieval.

I turned sendmail back on, fired up fetchmail, and watched my local mail file 
grow.  I then went into kmail's config and removed my pop account, exited, 
and clicked check mail.  Nothing happened.  I noted a progress bar stuck at 
0%, but no status message - I didn't take note if that was there before...

I had to close kmail, restart it, then mail checking worked fine.  Questions 
for clarification welcome.
