Kevin -
Thanks for the reply. I have a classic Unix set-up, sendmail/procmail delivers 
my mail to /var/spool/mail/robin. This always worked perfectly with KMail1. 
Issues with KMail2 include:

This has been a show-stopper in upgrading to the new KDEPIM. I suppose I could 
migrate to maildir but that's too many changes to a stable system.
