Paul, I've been away for a few days, so I don't know if anyone has already 
asked you questions.  We need to know a bit more about how you use kmail.

Do you use kmail to pull mail from your ISP, or from a local mail server?

Do you use mbox or maildir format?

What version of kmail?

I use a local imap server with maildir, and it behaves exactly as you would 
expect, updating the screen when you cause an action.  The more detail you 
can give us and the better our chance of finding your problem.
