Hi,
This sounds weird. See the destination field in Configure KMail -> Accounts -> 
Your troublesome account. Is it inbox or something else?

Also see what do you have in ~/.fetchmailrc or similar config files. Is your 
account's username mentioned anywhere in /etc config files? Type this command 
to see that:

$ find /etc -print0 | xargs -0 fgrep <your account username>

or

$ cd /etc ; grep -R <your account name> *
