What's "unix mail app"? Are we talking /var/spool/mail/user or pop3 
here? You mix "server" and "/var/spool/mail", which don't go together 
from a KMail POV.

Which one?

OK, now: Summary of questions:

- - What do you mean by "unix mail app?" (sendmail, pop3-server)
- - Where does the 1024 mail limit come into the game? (sendmail, pop3, 
kmail)
- - What exactly is the error netscape reports.
- - If the server imposes a 1024 mails limit (quota?), what is the error 
it returns (use the output of the pop3 kioslave if you tart kmail from 
the command line or use "telnet <yourserver> pop3" or "telnet 
<yourserver> smtp")
