don't let fetchmail deliver to sendmail but to procmail and use the procmail locking in kmail. I'm not sure how your sendmail locks the mailbox, but kmail and sendmail have to use the same locking mechanism. Subject: Re: Enable interval mail checking causes mail loss

At least I can simply use procmail locking in KMail with sendmail. My
sendmail checks for procmail locking. So it shouldn't be necessary to
use procmail.
Anyway, this is no bug in KMail but a problem of whatever locking method
the reporter uses. Most likely he tried FCTNL as this doesn't work with
sendmail what I learned the hard way when loosing mail when I used it.

I agree that showing a warning when the user creates a local account
with the potentially dangerous FCTNL locking would be a good idea.
