I assume you are talking about the inbox of an IMAP account. KMail 
updates the list of messages each time you open the inbox and each time 
you request an update (with F5 or the corresponding menu entries).

Additionally, you can ask KMail to check for new mail every N minutes in 
the settings of the IMAP account. KMail will then update all folders 
where the option "Include this folder in mail checks" is enabled.

It is not possible the prevent KMail from updating the list of message 
(or to delay the update) whenever you open the inbox. But you could 
simply keep the inbox open all the time. To do so open a second KMail 
window (via File->New->New Window). Then use the first window 
exclusively for the inbox and the second window for browsing all 
folders except for the inbox. And whenever you want to update the inbox 
simply press F5.

Ingo
