Hi,
How did you set up your default account to be automatically fetched? Do you 
want KMail to download the messages, or the other MTA to download them into 
KMail's folders? KMail stores the mail in ~/kde/share/apps/kmail/mail with 
subfoders for each local folder (in maildir format). You can configure 
fetchmail or whatever you use to download the mail to store your mail there, 
and not in /var/spool/mail. Or if you want KMail to do the downloading - just 
configure your acount as POP and not local maildir.
