I can confirm this issue on Kmail 5.15.1 and KDE Frameworks 5.74.0. Kmail doesn't show the e-mails of a mbox mailbox in /var/spool/mail.
Comment 2 Philippe ROUBACH 2020-10-14 10:18:26 UTC
today i get a good news.

kmail displays the list of the mails but only when clicking on the account not when clicking on the corresponding favorite.

i created again the favorite then no more problem with mbox account.

Perhaps the update to kde frameworks 5.75.0 and plasma 5.20.0. I am not sure.
