No the mail should be delivered directly to the Kmail inbox from the ISP.
No other servers. The other two email addressses behave correctly.

As stated previously, this was the result of a brand new install of 10.2. 
I don't know what the default is but I did not purposely set it up to 
use anything but Kmail

The desired setup is; no intervention by any MTA. Kmail interacts 
directly with the ISP.

No, no remote mail server unless you are referring to my ISP. Even if 
that were so, the other two email addresses on the same ISP work as 
expected.

What server, No server locally or anywhere else else. Only the ISP

Ok, there are three mail accounts:
    rnr at sanctum.com     (the problem one)
    hiddenlake at sanctum.com     (works as desired)
    usr at sanctum.com       (works as desired)
The ISP is sanctum.com

Why would I have to use postfix?  Is that a default in 10.2 now??

I will check that file.
