I guees you are compiling for 64 bits?
Giovanni, KDE_fseek == fseek64 was a mistake and will be fixed - please 
replace that with QT_FSEEK or fseek locally in the kmail code.
The problem is only discovered now because before nobody tried to use KDE_fseek.


The question is whether we should switch to the following macros from 
qplatformdefs.h:

QT_FTELL
QT_LSEEK
QT_FSEEK
QT_STAT

etc.
(and making many of the KDE_* macros obsolete or just aliases)

Note 1: that the KDE_* macros were added before Qt4.
Note 2: the kde_file.h should still be accessible for C code.
