I have a question, see below, which someone was helping me with,
but their answer does not really cover what I want to know, because
they say they don't know how kmail works.
Hey, I am not "they" :|
Anyone have a real/better/full answer to my question ?
Yes: RTFM.
Which is, in short :- what locking method should I use for Kmail to
read a
local mbox file that sendmail is delivering to ?
Why didn't you just read the Kmail FAQ?
http://docs.kde.org/en/3.1/kdenetwork/kmail/faq.html
--> 6.32. Does KMail lock the folders it uses?
The answer is pretty clear!
So you either have to use a procmailrc filter file, making usage of
locking and directing the mail into your homedir, or - as I said in
private mail - use an IMAP/POP3 server which can handle the situation
proper.
Extract from below:

Yes, Kmail has an option to read 'local mbox' accounts - but you have to
select the locking method for it - which one should I be using ?
Answered by the Kmail FAQ.
Thanks,
John.

P.S. Btw. it is very unfriendly to publish (quote) the content of
private / personal mail conversation without asking the other whether
this is ok! Whether the mail contains personal data and information or
not.
