run fetchmailconf from an xterm, and fill in the blanks. This should be
the same info that you put into kmail to get your mail.
then run kcron to create a crontab entry. Set it ro run every 15 minutes
or so. Exit kcron, and save the crontab.
Finally go into kmail/settings/configuration/network and create a local
incoming email account.
Now when you want to read mail, just click file/check mail in/local from
the kmail menu.
