That I got figured out, and kmail has been re-importing the old mailfile.  
But its working at about 1 message every 2 seconds because it is calling 
spamassassin for every message it processes!  I do that with procmail, 
which should have no connection with this as I am not pulling mail ATM with 
fetchmail, it has been shut down until kmail gets done with this 
importation of the old mail.

_I_ do not have kmail purposely configured to interface with spamassassin 
or spamd, so why is kmail apparently running it?

I won't get any replies to these msgs until I restart fetchmail, and at the 
rate its working, that may not be before I go under the knife to remove 
some skin cancers next Monday.

Cheers, Gene
