Hash: SHA1

If you run fetchmail, you can use the -k parameter to keep mail on the remote 
server.  Fetchmail will fetch and then feed your mail from the remote pop3 
server to a locally running mail server (usually sendmail).

You can the point any client you want at the mail server on your local 
machine to read your mail.  In kmail settings > congigure kmail > check 
sendmail > and make sure it knows the location of the sendmail executable on 
your local system.
