Due to entries in /etc/aliases -- adjust and run "newaliases" if you want
to keep root stuff separate.

Should only need to add account and/or filtering rule...  I don't run
Kmail since I think sylpheed-claws is the best IMO; but a quick look
suggests you are looking for ConfigureKmail->{Identities,Network} where
you can create new identities(accounts) and servers...  It's not obvious
how to tell Kmail that accountA uses serverX and accountB uses serverY;
but that's the general area...

Any valid userid can receive mail via [EMAIL PROTECTED] assuming you have
postfix or sendmail running on that machine; otherwise, you may need
fetchmail.

postfix/sendmail/fetchmail are required to accept/fetch mail into your
system for multiple users.

Lots of resources available...  what do you really want to do?  Do you
have your own domain? Are you prepared to run your own mailhost?  Do you
need a backup server? Wanna be your own boss when it comes to spam
handling?  etc, etc...  I've documented some of my postfix stuff at
http://pfortin.com/Linux/PostFix it that helps...
