I haven't worked with KMail so may be out to lunch on this... Does Kmail use the "profile" concept so that more than one user can use it (under one login). If so, then you should be able to just remove the profile, restart Kmail, then recreate the profile - at that point it should assume it's a new mailbox and get the contents of the mailbox from the server.
But, with the way logins are handled under Linux and the configuration files are stored, I'm thinking a profile isn't used. My thoughts...

I just changed the setting to mbox and that was that (the only thing that bugged me about that is that KMail defaults to maildir, but if you change the setting, it doesn't change the existing mail folder to the new format, but no worries, I got around that by just deleting ~/Mail and letting KMail recreate it in mbox format). The problem I have is that it isn't getting the messages off the server again. I suspect it has stored, somewhere, the index (on the server) of the last message it retrieved, and is only picking up messages received by the server after that index value. I want it to go back and get ALL the messages on the server again. That's what I need help with.
