Settings pulldown, configure kmail, accounts.  You will want to turn off the 
rx fetch from your ISP's server, and setup a new 'local account' to read 
from /var/spool/user/mail, once you have fetchmail pulling and handing it off 
to procmail for processing, then procmail will store it there, and kmail can 
read and sort it from there.  I run fetchmail as a daemon, scanning the ISP 
every 90 seconds since I'm on dsl, and procmail is launched from the 
fetchmail to handle the MTA & filtering chores.

I set up two local accounts so I get mail from the local services running too, 
like logwatch, cron and amanda.  Set the scan interval to something that's 
reasonably realtime, I use 1 minute here.
