| Hi All,
| 
| 	I have FreeBSD 5.1 with KDE 3 running kmail. Kmail pulls from the
| local mailbox into its mail archive. I'd like to figure out a way to reading
| kmail email from the console. Is that possible?
| 
| I can already read mail in my mailbox via the console by using mutt, however
| when kmail reads messages from the mailbox it deletes them and stores them
| in its own special file. So what I'm trying to do is read that file via  a
| console program.
| 
| Thanks,
| -Jason

The mail is stored in Maildir format by KMail (v1.4). Check
out the mutt configuration. mutt supports Maildir format.
