Thank you for your note.

None of the above resembles anything I have read or heard from others. It 
is my  understanding that fetchmail is to retrieve mail directly from the 
servers (which which are in Ohio, California, and Russia); I have not 
heard that I need a local server. My understanding is as I described in my 
query, that Kmail (in its receiving mode) doesn't see remote servers at 
all. Nowhere have I read anything else.
