I think if you tell Fetchyahoo to put the mails directly in your KMail mail file it will work OK, but the mails will not be highlighted as 'new mail' (Try it and see)
You could always tell Fetchyahoo to put the mails in /var/spool/mail/username (create the file first with 'username' as the owner), and then define a new account in Kmail to look at the 'Local Mailbox' KMail>Settings>ConfigureKmail>Network>Receiving>Add derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
