Hi Richard,
Kmail stores its messages in files that have the same names as the
directories of the mailboxes of XFmail. If you want Kmail & XFmail to
peacefully coexist you have to create a subdirectory for XFmail in your
/home/username/Mail directory: something like
/home/username/Mail/xfmail. Next configure XFmail to place its
mailboxes in this directory. To get Kmail working again: delete all
files & directories (accept the newly created xfmail dir) and fire up
Kmail.
Hope this helps.
Marcel.
