Yes and no. If you receive mail via SMTP and e.g. postfix and any local
delivery agent, then thsi mail will be always spooled in /var/spool/mail. So we
have to be able to use that "feature".

> adding a mbox account pointing to /var/spool/mail/$USER works correctly

Oh, sure. But you can not move that mail automatically to the inbox as older
versions of KMail could do it, and any other MUA that I know can do it. Adding
this mbox always creates a new folder.

The requirement is simply, that mail from the spool mbox ends up in the inbox
as all mail, e.g. from IMAP or POP3 does.

And in my tests, but I think this is another bug which might be fixed already,
you couldn't even remove mails from that folder. They reappeared when you quit
and started KMail again.
